Still searching for the "perfect" automobile!
Man, with a Tempo and Achieva, you were looking in the wrong place for a while Was the turbo deisel available for the Touareg?

78 Renault 5 ("Le Car" in the USA) (1st car, over the hill and rusted out)
78 VW Scirocco: fun car until it broke in half from rust (Montreal winters)
87 Mazda 323LX (lasted almost 12 years)
00 VW Golf GTI VR6 (great, great car which I would have kept longer if I had not purchased land that required 4wd and ground clearance to get to)
06 Ford Escape Hybrid (My first North American car. Love it so far despie lacking some refinements compared to the VW and even the '87 323!)

Cheers,

Roch

Arrow Re: Vehicle before your hybrid

My previous cars (all bought used, year of purchase shown):
  1. '64 Buick (1973; all I could afford at age 18. Terrible MPG, required premium gas.)
  2. '73 Dodge Colt (1977)
  3. '77 Dodge Colt (1981)
  4. '84 Honda Civic hatchback (1985)
  5. '90 Toyota Corolla (1992; traded a year ago for '05 HCH at 320K miles! Got ~40 MPG.)
Spouse's previous cars (all bought new);
  1. '84 Pontiac 1000 (typical piece of GM junk; self-destructed after ~36K miles )
  2. '87 Honda Civic sedan
  3. '97 Mercury Tracer wagon
Thanks to my 1st car, fuel economy is always a high priority for me. Thanks to the spouse's 1st car, neither of us would ever even consider buying a GM vehicle again.

Good thing it didn't burn up like a few others of the era.

Let's see, no Introduction in the Introductions forum, no check in in the Michigan Roll call thread in Events and Gathering, and you expect us all to answer your marketing question?

My list is short.

'95 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (Back when that meant 2 door, not that weird SUV/pick-up mix)

Have you read the FEH FAQ?
