Easiest question ever!! Fiat 500 Abarth!! Great car, pretty peppy, great gas mileage, easy to upgrade/tune if you ever want to, great visibility, and it now comes topless!! What'd ya think?

Bet y'all over looked it...

I'd look for a lightly used Saab 93 or 95 w/ the 2.0T engine and AWD. Great driver, handles awesome, power out the ass, and good economy to boot.

I have always had American cars and probably always will. But when it comes to a inexpensive good gas mileage cars, American sucks. We build great SUVs (I have owned several jeeps ) we build nice expensive cars, we build great sports cars but that's where it ends. If I HAD to get an inexpensive good gas economy car I would buy an ALtima. Sad but true. Thank god this day will never come because SUV is my second vehicle and always will be.

We looked at the fiat 500, we looked at a mini, we test drove a sonic, both turbo and not turbo. For the $$ all of those cost we just got the 2nd Camaro, why buy some ugly, small, under powered box when you can get a Camaro!

had a mini ....new s models come with a turbo. I had the older one with a supercharger. Stay away from them I had plenty of problems and my friend had to get a whole new engine after 2 years of purchasing it new.

But if you want variety in your garage go foreign... get a 1986 Mondial! That's pretty fun to drive, and you can say you own a Ferrari

But I have to say I love my V6 Camaro, a stick would make it even better too

But neither is a jeep, BUT you are certainly right about being a pain to work on!

Mandra, if money is of no object then go wi th the new Telsa. If you are on a budget , then I say a VW Jetta/Passat or the new AWD Taurus.

Wow a lot of good idea's here. I'm also spending a small fortune on resto-modding my 67 RS SS. Hopefully that will be a good daily after and if it ever gets finished. LS2 and t-56 going in that one should make for a nice light weight grocery getter
