If you are going to get a car to save gas get a Toyota Camry those Ford 4 cylinders suck and really all American 4 cylinders are junk compared to a Toyota. You are gonna get screwed trading in anyway so why not just spend 5k on a 10 year old Camry and be done with it.

Used Toyota or Honda are great options. Living in the NE I would go with a Subaru. I've had many and I couldn't kill them. My Legacy wagon had over 250K on it when I sold it to a neighbor and it was still going at least 2 years later. All it ever needed was 1 water pump and a head gasket.

Nobody has said this, but how about you get a V6 Camaro. I have a V6 and get 30mpg on the highway. People have made fun of me for a V6 but I don't care. If I want to go fast I will ride my crotch rocket. A V6 still gives you the power and comfort you have but not as much in the gas. Not as much power as the V8 but is still fun to drive and not a compact car.

Anyone that would trade their 2SS for a Focus needs his head examined.
Park the Camaro and only drive it on special occasions. Buy a beater to drive back and forth to work. Its a no brainer. Although I still wouldn't buy a Ford |

This is a joke, right? Of course you can get better gas mileage from a Ford Focus. No kidding. If you have to worry about gas usage, don't buy a Camaro SS. You buy it for the power, the fun, not to worry about squeezing out MPGs. If you want both a Camaro AND better gas mileage, then you get the NON-SS model. V6 or the new 4 cylinder turbo. Plain and simple.

I keep thinking of that song by the group RUSH called Red Barchetta. It's a great song about a guy way off in the future who finds his uncle's old sports car in his barn. He takes it out on the road only to come across "A gleaming Alloy Air car two lanes wide." He runs a race with it and returns to his uncle's farm to dream with him by the fireside of the old muscle car days. Great song! |

I grew up w/ imports and 4 bangers all my life... That's what my Dad bought and owned, w/ a 6 cylinder thrown in once in a while just for kicks. When I was in High School, all my friends drove Nova's, Chevelle's, or Mustangs... I had a Austin America. I'm at the point in life where my kids are grown, and I don't need to think about economy and roominess. I want that sound... popping, gurgle, spitting... I want my V8.

American made 4 cylinder engines are junk. Honda or Toyota is the only choice if you must.
