2001 - Pontiac - Grand Prix - GT - 75,000miles

My new car will most likely be a:

I use my g35 sedan, but I had a RSX and that hatchback was perfect for caryying detailing supplies.

I use either:

2002 Lexus IS300 w/ 91k miles.

or

2008 Lexus RX350 w/ 5k miles.

Looking at replacing the IS very soon....

2007 Tacoma TRD Sport 4-door, about 4K miles. I use my Taco to tow my 5'x10' enclosed trailer.

Looking at the vehicles you mentioned you were looking at, I'd highly suggest you check out the Mazda3. Not only is it really fun to drive, the hatchback version has a ton of cargo room. We average over 30 mpg with the 2.3L and the 5-speed manual.

I have a 12 passenger ford van E150. Black with dark tinted windows. I took the seats out and keep my tank, generator, supplies inside. My friends make fun because they say it looks like a rape van. Oh and I have a dancing hoola girl on the dash. I can use it for work and when we go on a road trip everything comes out, the seats go back in and we take off. I like it, just a pain to work on if anything goes wrong.

Love it so far...As far as MPGs go, well, it's definitely not what I'm used to with the MZ3 but I live in a terrible area for snow and I no longer have to worry about getting down the road or out of my parking spot during the winter.
