Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jan 27, 2008 12:06 pm) Hi iluvmysephia1....Sounds like we've been on parallel auto courses.   Do you have any feelings for Electric Vehicles(EVs)....not hybrids? My northwest produces electric power, kilowatt to HP with only 4% of the pollution of an internal combustion engine(ICE). & EVs are 3 times more efficient than ICE.So if battery technology keeps advancing, someday I will own an EV. If you get into EVs, then our parallel course would continue. Actually, I own an Electric Bike(EB) which produces 1/700th the pollution of an ICE. Even with my bad back & arthritic body, I feel like I'm a kid cycling around the valley that I used to pedal thru 50 years ago.

Replying to: litesong1 (Jan 26, 2008 10:04 pm) A follow up on my wife's manual 2008 Accent. She piloted Accent thru a long winter averaging 33MPG. Accent has performed 100% without 1 squeak, creak or rattle. She allowed me to take Accent on 3 trips over 1400, 3000, 4000 & 5500 foot mountain passes. Accent got spectacular MPG...41.5, 42.6, & 45.2MPG! Again, these trips weren't on flat roads, but high passes traveling from 80 foot elevation.   My fairly lethargic opinion of Accent has blossomed fully, specially with its continued easy functioning. The short-shift dealer installed 5 speed shifter combined with an nice engaging clutch is the 2nd best combo I've ever used.
#440 of 443 Hyundai Accent & Bear by litesong1 Aug 01, 2008 (7:15 pm)
While traveling on a country road thru a marshy area, a black bear scurried out of the brush onto the road in front of the Accent. I slammed on the brakes, missing him by 5 feet. Across the road he ran, crashed into the brush & was gone. He was a muscular bear, with a clean even coat & healthy...healthy enough to run fast & live another day.   The moral of the story: when looking for wild animals, make sure to look right in front of yourself, too!

Replying to: bottgers (Aug 02, 2007 11:25 am) Definitely go for the pickup. The 'Vette has been a girls car for about, oh, 38 years now. Ever since they dropped the manny. The only drivers you see in a 'vette are either hot chicks or old men who have a bumper sticker visible only to hot chicks which says " I NEED ANDROGEL WITH A VIAGRA CHASER!!!".

#443 of 443 Toyoya Yaris wins by ellenbetty Aug 10, 2009 (8:51 am)
I like my Toyota Yaris because I could mount my navigation system behind the steering wheel. Cannot do that with a Hyundai Accent. If you are worried about being side impacted then getting the Safety package is a must. I had a Ford Ranger with a pop up navigations system where the radio was installed. I liked my Toyota Yaris navigation set up better. So I traded in the Ford Ranger for a second Toyota Yaris 3 door liftback.
