Hatchcraps and understeer:
If he understeerd into a guard rail, he's a good driver. Tell him he needs driver's ed.
My GSR's gas mileage:
30+ all the time.
As far as FCs go, if you have 9000 to blow on a car, you can't go wrong. I fit just as much in my FC as I did in my GSR, but I don't have to cart people around because "I only have two seats... sorry :wink: " I get like 15-23MPG and i have to put 93 octane in.
The only reason I bought this car is because I got an amazing deal on it. 90 TII with 35k on a mazda reman. engine (200hp btw Gerald, 196 Tq) for 2000. That's everything, car tax, tags, registration. This is the first car I have that I truly love everything about. I could care less about the gas mileage because of the price I paid for it. The car does great in snow and has been nothing but reliable for like 8 months now. I don't drive it hard... in fact, REED might tell you I drive slowly
My advice: Compile a list of cars you're interested in and join all their respective forums. Keep an eye on all the for sale sections and watch cars.com and autotrader. If you have a car to drive now, which you do, take your time and look for something you will really love. The worst mistake you can make (I made it) is to settle for something. After being unsatisfied with a couple cars, I realized all I needed to do is wait for something good to come along. I got lucky, and if you're diligent about it, you will get lucky too.
