Hmmm you can go wrong with a GS300/Aristo, guess a NZ new one would be NA VVTi?

Hrm, if you are hard on the loud pedal, and you want reasonable economy around town, I think none of the cars that you have listed are going to be what you're after.

A good on gas cruiser is really going to have to be a diesel!

You could always consider something four or five door in the Corolla range, eg Carib BZ Touring, or a newer shape Corolla like a Fielder or something along those lines (the ones with the 1800vvti engine) or Corolla GT Sedan (111 shape)?

What about a Prius? :lol:

With the RUC's where they are after the increase and diesel not dropping as much as petrol at the pumps, i disagree here. Its costing my bud the same as me to run his jeep at the moment. Me having a 328i, and him with the MU. Dad even prefers his 1L runabout to the hiace when he wants to save gas.

The end of the diesel is nigh

Old Corolla diesel, speedo disconnected?

by **pjay** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:51 pm

Speedo disconnected? :roll:

Pffft, my 5.7L Hemi with Fred Flintsone driving would get better mileage. Footpower pwns your disconnected speedo..

Apples with apples. Ie: legal with legal

Of course

I was going for the comedy answer, rather than an actual useful answer.

The cheapest thing for around town use, other than running shoes, would actually be a wee Honda four stroke 50cc moped

Bit hard to carry much with you though.

What about a Mark II Tourer?
Much the same as a Chaser but half the price.
Or a TT Aristo

My folks were looking at a diesel Rav 4 a while back (new) its fuel economy was stupidly good. So the end of diesel is not nigh at all.

The end is nigh for uneconomical diesels and petrol cars though :lol:
