What Other Vehicle Do YOU have?
I am looking for a daily as I have been commuting a bit further to work and the parking spots are super small! Driving the truck has become a PIA, but I love it and need it to tow my boat.
I am considering picking up another bmw lease or a sedan.
I have also considered a fiat 500 abarth.. I know you guys will knock it here on a truck forum, but the thing is twin turbo and a ton of fun to drive and pretty cheap if you can find a used one...

Wife and I bought a 2011 Edge limited AWD and I love that thing, not as much as my truck but I'd never admit it if I did. It's efficient, quick (compared to my truck) and surprisingly fun to drive. Picked my truck off the lot the day her edge came in so I've had a nice comparison between the two.

I have a 05 Explorer,five fusions for my wife and daughters.Fusions are very reliable but junky feeling like asian cars(lots of road noise and clunky engine sounds).

Besides the 2011 F150 (16.5 mpg) I have a 2008 BMW 535i (25 mpg), 2008 BMW 328i (30 mpg), 2009 FJ Cruiser (17 mpg) and a 1976 Ford Bronco (8GPM).
I have considered one of thos Abarth's for a commuter car... I think I read where you could buy one new for under 5 grand and you dont have to make a payment for one year AND zero interest.

Retired and loving it!
What part of the country are you in, and what is your winter weather like?
If there is no snow (or even if there is, with a good set of Blizzaks....), go look at and drive a Mazda Miata. It's the most fun you can have with only 167 HP.....and I am SURE it will fit in those parking spots you mention......we love ours, but don't drive it in the winter weather up here in the NW.

we have a 2012 fiesta for the wife. she likes a small car that's good on gas. and it does that. it does feel cheaply made. but you get what you pay for i guess. we travel pretty much the same distance to work. even on the same roads. i spend about 45 a week and she spends 45 a month.
