Poll: 2009 Energy Efficient Vehicles - What would you buy?

[canadian_hustla]

Hello beyond

I need your help. Priorities have changed and now I am looking for energy efficient vehicle. I am not baller so most of these are ~ $20k +/-

I was originally thinking about the Jeep Patriot, but I am worried about the quality, durability, and resale.

Here is what I have narrowed it down to. All are 2009's. All will have power options and will be 5spd.

I am leaning towards the Corolla S.

thanks in advance.


1) Mitsubishi Lancer SE $22,000


2) Toyota Corolla S $21,000


3) Nissan Altima 2.5S $23,500


4) Mazda 3 GX $22,000


5) Jeep Patriot North 4x2 $20,000


6) Other? (VW CITY JETTA, HONDA CIVIC, ETC) please specify

I don't have much experience with these cars, but I'd prolly go with the Corolla as well, but would try and get the XRS version, if not, the Lancer would be a very close second (even though I hate the rear).

No civic?

If those are the choices I would go Corolla.

Out of your selection....a corolla for sure

Civic.

I havent actually driven any of those cars, but when I sat in the Corolla/Civic/Lancer/3 I liked the civic the most. Felt the best made in my opinion.

I have an 06 civic and love it. Very fuel efficient and very comfortable and it handles well.

i agree but the interior sucks so bad... it looks so 1990's.. i don't know why they didn't spend extra $ to make it look better

thanks for the opinions keep them votes coming.

Anything but the Jeep!

I like the Toyota Corolla.

[guessboi]

the newer corolla is not bad at all compared to the last generation. fuel efficient will blow all the other ones on the list.

[gpomp]

from that list corolla. but why isn't the civic on there?

[Freestylin]

because civics are played out?

how does that affect its fuel efficiency?

[Freestylin]

It's a fuel efficient car..but I believe he excluded the civic due to the large amount of people owning one...

[r0g3r]

pick the corolla

[TorqueDog]

I'd be torn between a Civic, Lancer, or a VW Golf/Jetta.

I don't think I need to voice my opinion of the Corolla. You probably have a pretty good idea that I'm not a fan.
