Okay so I have a real nice 2011 SSRS that sits real pretty in the garage most of the time. I drive a Chevy Avalanche to work which is about an 86 mile trip each day getting all of 14 MPG.
The wife drives a mini van which gets about 17 and she carts the kids all over the place.

What we want to get is a fun car with a stick to share. I started looking at the Focus ST when I saw one on the way to work one day. It's no 6.2L but it does seem peppy and gets a mileage rating somewhere between 24 and 30 mpg. The other thought is to get a new Camaro V6 convertible. The idea is to save some gas and have some fun along the way.

I have worries over the Camaro as my wife hates driving mine with the blind spots. I don't really notice them but she does. I should mention though the vert was her idea

any thoughts on a good fun and inexpensive 4 of 6 banger?

Thanks!
