I'm in the market for a new car. I was looking at the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Mini Cooper and the VW Rabbit.
Any advice or first hand knowledge? I think I'm leaning towards the Rabbit

Whichever one gets the best gas mileage would be the one I'd pick, and I'd buy a used car as you lose so much money on a new one.
It can also take up to 10,000 miles to "break-in" an engine. My sister bought a floor model once and they took over $5000 off the list price. Good luck and enjoy your car!

5 grand? Wow. They're pretty much complimentary in gas mileage and price. I'll look into the floor model idea. That's great!! I also heard something about VW being quite generous to first time buyers... |

I also heard something about VW being quite generous to first time buyers... It was OVER five thousand... I can't remember the exact amount but it was right around six something. And she rarely talks about money at all so that was quite a feat to hear her say it. She lives in CT.

CT has the absolute best prices on cars. When I was in college, my roommate was from Maine, and when I went to go visit her, she told me that most of the people she knew went to CT to buy their cars. I remember it being something about no sales tax. |

The sky and soltace are the same car, just diffrent body parts. The rabbit Is totaly diffrent class of automobiles. You have to decide if you want a sports car or a compact car.

I remember it being something about no sales tax. Actually, if you live there.... nope. My sister has to pay a tax on her vehicle every year. I'm not sure if there is sales tax, but she pays a tax based on its value every single year. It was rough when she drove a Navigator.... I'm not sure what the current situation is, though. |

That's rough. Granted, this was about 8 years ago, so it may have changed. |

I've never done it... I don't buy new cars. This was told to me by a Ford employee. And I mean to obtain optimum efficient mileage only. My comment, in its original statement, was linked to fuel efficiency.

Which is why I was asking opinions. I understand that they are different classes of cars.

At 4 bucks a gallon, is it ever really "efficient"?

If your going to get the solstice get the tubro changed one it will have the best resell value. My daughter just bought one $27k and its really fast you can get rubber in third gear. Not alot of leg room on the passenger side if your over 6 ft it kind of like being in a coffin. For my money I would get a corvette ....I just happen to have one for sell. |

Go for the non-gas guzzler..I own a 2007 Chevy Monte SS, V8 and I spend $60 every other day to fill the tank, it takes high grade...I'm shopping around myself right now to trade it in... I'm looking at a 2008 Kia Sorento, I'm in the Army and have lots of gear a normal trunk will not hold..Seeing that in September I have to drive two hours to FT. Knox and back home...
