I'm having serious thoughts on selling or trading in my truck. I bought it thinking it would be getting plenty of use for work and therefore earning a living for itself to help pay its outrageous monthly payment. Two years and that hasn't happened yet except for in the winter when I run it to plow snow. With the weak winter we just had I was really feeling the pinch having to dip into my savings to make a few payments. Not to mention the fuel prices now. Granted it does about 20 - 21 in town if I drive civilly and don't have any weight in it or towing a trailer and about 19.5 - 20 on the highway as long as i keep it under 75mph. (if I go 60mph it will get about 25mpg, shocking for a 3/4 ton pickup)
I'm thinking about a car. I'm leaning towrds a VW. My friend has one, a Jetta GL with TDI. I've driven it, its a fun car to drive and its comfortable. I'm thinking either a GLS with 1.8T and 5spd or a GLI with the fancy wheels, sportier suspension and and a 6spd. The TDI would be nice with the 30mpg in town and over 40 on the highway. (my friend gets about mid 30s around town and close to 50 on the highway and he drives it like an animal) But 90 hp you kinda have to drive it like an animal to keep up.
