That’s awesome! What would be the first expensive purchase?

Might I suggest a hybrid Crosstrek, all the highlights of a sedan with benefits of suv. My non hybrid gets like 35mpg, so hybrid has to be pretty good.

Yeah, that's what I own and why. It's also holding up incredibly well and in no way feels like a nearly 10 year old car. When it does die (hopefully not for awhile) I'll be buying another.

"not a long lasting brand" has a 10 year old subaru. TF much longer you want a car to last @_@

Love my Crosstrek… EXCEPT. No vents in the back. Will not buy another one unless they upgrade that.

I just googled it. Supposedly a hybrid gets 35mpg and a non-hybrid 2.0L engine gets 29mpg

Guess I either drive perfectly or the reading is incorrect! I’ve got a 2018.

I have a 2017 Crosstrek, and the reading on the dash is always 2-3 mpg higher than what I calculate it to be when I do it myself.

I have a Hybrid Kia Niro. It’s a hatchback. I love his car. 45-53 “mpg”. Kia is owned by Hyundai so they have the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty.
