I agree with what you guys and ladies are saying about having a second gas sipper to run around in. What you have to avoid is the 2000$ and under Honda or what ever that cost big to keep running. Over 100K miles things like timing belt, injector pumps, bearings, exedra can coast more than the extra gas to run the VX. I've always liked classics like old VWs. a nice bug or Karmen ghia gets good mileage, easy and cheep to fix, gets lots of attention, and increases in value. I know some of the old classic can be a little uncomfortable,a price for beauty. I drive a 2002 Jetta diesel 40+mpg every few days or so.
