Re: What type of cars does everyone use for their business?

(when i get my liscense) i will probably use my dads VW eurovan or VW rabbit pickup (we just bought one with almost no rust) or my moms saturn view. Or if my rents arent home and took all the SUV's/trucks i will throw just the products i need into my 914 or 911.

2008 Altima is available in hybrid and has a huge trunk. Back seat is very roomy for a mid size sedan. Drives like a sports car. Have you drvien one? They look really stylish and only need tint.

Re: What type of cars does everyone use for their business?

I have driven the nissan altima drives and looks nice inside but the turning radius seems a little wide. But there really is not that much room in it.

I'm 5'8 it's got plenty of room 4 me. Besides, the wife has a LandCruiser if I wanna stretch. Oh, BTW the Altimas prior to 2002 were really small, I forgot to mention mines one of the bigger ones.

So true, Had to fix the torrsion bar on my moms and it was a pain to get out.

Re: What type of cars does everyone use for their business?

Working for a pharmaceutical company that is just starting to grow our drivers are using toyota prius's. We also have a cargo van, and rent UD's and 20' straight jobs from Penski as we need them.

I have driven the Prius for a week or so delivering, and they are nice cars. I drove about 240-260 miles each day that I drove. The Prius averaged 40.5 to 45 miles to the gallon. Other driver got a little more at times, maybe I have lead foot.

Not to mention it's quiet, handles pretty well, has plenty of back seat and trunk space. and a very nice center screen display for trip info, radio, climate control etc.

0 to 60 is not to impressive, but switching lanes on the highways it has nice pickup.
Front seats could also be a bit more comfy. The steering wheel feeling solid but could still could use a little leather wrap.
We also got green stickers for the prius's that allow us to drive in the HOV lanes.
