(in Three Different Drive Configurations)
Suzuki SX4 Crossover - All Wheel Drive. "Coolest Car under $18K" –Kelly Blue Book. Cute, cheap, AWD, standard factory NAV, and it outperforms the Mini Cooper for less money? Yes! and in the cruel Mini Cooper / Honda Fit town that is Seattle, an SX4 sighting still makes me smile widely. Let’s go snowboarding!
Ford Fiesta - Front Wheel Drive. Coming to North America in early 2010, this superb little front-driver is winning acclaim the World over. This will definitely be a small, inexpensive car (smaller and cheaper than the Focus) that gets good gas mileage, but also expect exceptional Euro road manners and styling. You could be one of the first.
BMW 128i - Rear Wheel Drive. Small BMWs are still the reference for driver satisfaction in a livable package. Modern traction and stability controls keep it composed in less-than-ideal weather. Resist options, and it’s less than $30K, four years scheduled maintenance included. This seems a very fair deal for a machine that can provide pure driving joy like few others.

Still pushing the Fiesta, B? You make some odd choices. Hello from Argentina!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "still", T? (are you thinking of the Focus?) Fiesta is so new ya can't even buy one here yet, but it's a super exciting little car that's winning acclaim (and rally races) around the globe.
