'04 Scion Xb, loved that vehicle, tons of head room and storage room not to mention people room. I'd LOVE to purchase a electric Xb, not the newer chubby ones but based off the older more Japanese designed models, I owned it for 10 years.
Before the Scion I had a 5 door Geo Metro for 10 years, also loved that car, a fair amount of passenger room and good storage room, terrific gas mileage. Unfortunately I owned it when gas was very cheap so I never really fully benefited from it's high gas mileage. Upper 30s in very short trips and 50+ on the road, at least 10 MPG better than the Scion. Unfortunately being so light(~1700 lbs I believe) it had very thin metal and the frame literally broke near the front struts from corrosion, otherwise I may have driven it for many more miles, real shame
The Geo was the last of it's day, no air bags, no power windows, 5 speed, no power locks, etc. It's only option was AC and you could really tell when it kicked in :shock: needless to say I never engaged AC while trying to merge onto the freeway! I did love the tires on the Geo though, 145 12" :lol: My last set at Sears cost all of $12.50 each, $50 for a set of 4 60k mile tires. It would have been as much for valve stems and to balance the tires as they cost so I just had them mount the tires and I used my old bubble balancer at home.
Lots of various American and foreign cars before that(German, Italian, English, Japanese, Swedish) a 1971 Audi 100LS was my first street driving car, 4 on the floor and a nice
hand crank(don't see those anymore) sunroof
My oldest vehicle would have been a 64 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant, great cars with the
last forever 225 slant 6 (oh and both had the cool
push button automatics)!
