It's not heaven . . . it's Iowa!
I rented a Fusion a few months ago. It was a GREAT car. No idea on the MPG though :dunno:

I also like the look of the NBS Malibu. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

My mom just got a fusion sport and she likes it. It rides well but still gets around 25 hwy cuz of the 3.5 v6 vs the 4 banger

I'd probably get V6 also cause the v6 would last longer.

Why do you say that?

I was told that 4 bangers wear out easier and better to have the V6

The camero is 19 overall mpg 2011 1ss v8. They do offer the cruze and cobalt though.
huh.... you are looking to get a brand new Camaro? I thought you were looking to get a used car?

Yes, Just waiting on very very large sum of money. Also going back to school.

Why buy new when you can restore?

If I were to look at a car, I like the Pontiac Grand Am (small) or Grand Am (slightly larger). The Cavalier is a decent car with good MPGs. It only comes in a 4cyl I think.

If you are looking newer, the Pontiac G6 is a nice car.

I see where you are coming from on the V6 lasts longer, but some of them are harder to change plugs on along with everything else (less room in the engine bay). Also, some V6's use smaller pistons that an 4cyl. So to me I'd rather have a 4cyl with larger pistons than a V6 pushing smaller ones.

Just my $.02

I think that is what you meant.

The Ford Fiesta is supposed to be coming to the states soon. A friend just bought a 2010 Jetta TDI. She loves it and it gets great MPG. The Juke is launching in Nov. for the 2011 models. So far all the reviews have been great on it. And it's supercharged.
