Anyone driving a 2-ton average vehicle, at 60+ mph has no business talking on the phone (or reading, shaving, applying makeup in the mirror, feeding their kids, or any of the dozen other distracting, stupid things I have seen people do while driving.) What you should be doing is DRIVING in a manner so as not to jeopardize the health and safety of other drivers and pedestrians on the roads. The way some of you people talk, you think it is your God-given right to do whatever you damned well please, and everyone else's responsibility to stay outta your way. Mankind got along without cell phones for the first several millenia of our wretched existence. The next time you jump behind the wheel and start dialing up your phone, ask yourself....is the call worth my life, or someone else's life? Because the way I have seen (and personally felt the impact of) how MANY people drive while distracted by their phones, it just may be.

We needed something that can/could haul our very active teenagers and all of their crap, but didn't want to get into an SUV with all of their tradeoffs. This will be the car that drops off the older child at college this fall, and the younger one will learn to drive in. I got the supplier discount and at the time there was extra money on the hood to get Maxx's off the lot, so I got it a lot cheaper than almost anything you could think of. Epsilon (think Opel Signum) chassis, with independent suspension and 4 wheel disc brakes and a torquey Chevy V6 in front. Not especially tuned for hoonage, but certainly capable in a pinch. The hatchback swallows almost anything, all but the driver's seat folds down for really long loads. With this long wheelbase Epsilon, the back seats recline and move fore and aft, no lack of legroom for towering teenagers. Or really fat relatives... Granted, the interior will not stun you with gee-whiz wizardry, but it's pretty well organized and functional, and almost hose-out-able. No major mechanical issues with this car, and when fully loaded on the freeway I get about 28-30 MPG, in full vacation driving mode (80 MPH+, A/C on, etc.). If I slow down to speed limits, I get over 30-33 MPG, which I have been doing more and more lately. As much as I love cars, and considering that the only way I could piss away my money faster is to spend all of it at the bar, it's hard to beat the basic Chevy for my next ten years of driving. I will spend the majority of that time commuting, and the few times during the year, I will be on the freeway where this car has good mileage considering it's size. It fits my garage and my budget. Once this thing is done, then it's on to something nicer. We’re already in our 10 year car, a 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx.

The 1995 saturn SC1 gets more mileage put on it than the 2004 Mazda6 hatch, because of gas costs already. The Fit combines the properties of both: frugality, reliability, and tons of haul-shit, and is likely to hold up to a decade better than the saturn in the creeks-and-squeaks department. My sister has a 2007 Fit and absolutely adores it, and if I want fast, I go take one of the motorcycles to a trackday. The only other one would be a 2009 Prius. Except the car is sooooooooo boring. The Fit drives well, the Prius is a monument to Bland. Another for the 2009 Fit.
