Re: What do you drive?

2001 Pontiac Grand Am. It's a POS. I would never have purchased a Pontiac, but when my Camry kicked the bucket I inherited the Pontiac from my wife, and she got the new minivan.

I'm driving the sucker into the ground because it's just the smart financial move. But part of me prays for it to break down so I can get into something else!

Re: What do you drive?

2006 Nissan Maxima and a 2001 Chevy Tracker.

I must say that I have beaten the hell out of the Tracker and that car is still running fine (knock on wood). The Maxima is nice, roomy, and pretty comfortable. I had some brake problems at the beginning, but it's all good now.

Re: What do you drive?

A 1999 Honda Civic . . . that has merely 85,000 miles on it. My wife and I both live and work in the city and ride the train, so the car sits motionless Monday through Friday every week, with only occasional exceptions. It's about as plain-Jane a car as you're going to find, but I love it--it's been totally reliable for 11 years. However, my wife really wants to just get rid of it and finally get a new one. She's part of a GM family, so she wants us to get an Equinox, which we'll likely get a good deal for. Not sure I'm sold on it yet though.

I drive a 99 Civic too, but with 208,000 miles on it. Still runs well, with minimal maintenance.

Re: What do you drive?

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I guess it's fully loaded by '02 standards but now it's severely lacking in many areas.

It's a V8 so it sucks up a ton of gas and it's been nothing but problems for me since I got it about 4 years ago. The heat didn't work for a year, so that winter was a bitch; I had to get the power steering fixed about 6months after I bought it; and the AC works but not well and its dark green so it gets really hot inside. But having said all that, it's got about 115k miles on it and I have little to no intention of getting a new car anytime soon.

Re: What do you drive?

2007 Dodge Ram with the 5.7L Hemi V8. SUCKS GAS like crazy, but there's no Prius that can pull our boat... other than the gas mileage, I love this truck. Wife has a '09 Saturn Vue .

yeah,I have an 08 Ram with the smaller v8,I think it might suck gas worse than the hemi.Doesnt the hemi have that mode that it kicks in to make it a 4 or 6 cylinder?

Yeah, it does... but I have read some things that seem to indicate turning it off actually can improve mileage. I have some larger tires on than stock (35"s) and an aftermarket catback, headers and intake. I'm going to put a tuner on later this year and play with it a bit to see if i can squeeze some more mpg's out of her...

Re: What do you drive?

As Cpayne mentioned, I drive an 04 Maxima. It has some nice features, but I'd trade it straight up for my 97 Acura CL in a second. I won't be getting a Nissan for my next car (Maybe Infiniti G35, same company)

Which car do you mostly enjoy terrorizing the road with? The minivan or the Pontiac? It has to be tough to choose between wide-body and speed.
