I'm getting fed up with how much I spend monthly in gas ($400++) and get 13-17mpg(usually on the lower side). Not to mention driving my car in traffic is a pain in the ass.
My first idea was get a cheap(ish) daily that gets really get MPG. However, I think it would take a while for the car to pay for itself. I also dont know how I like the idea of driving a cheaper car most of the time and driving the stang on occasion, which i have been DDing for 6 years now.
My other idea was to get rid of the stang for a DD....probably a sedan for more room and my daughter. I was thinking of staying below $30k if I were to do this, but I am having trouble finding anything good on gas that I wont get bored with after a few months. Dont get me wrong, I dont expect it to be as fast as the mustang(450+rwhp), but I want something that isnt bland either.
So, any ideas? What cars are fun for enthusiasts, but decent on gas? I test drove a certified 335i sedan and really liked it, but its pushing the budget and not really saving me any money. I wont touch one without the warranty.
Some cars look good like the 2013 Fusion or new Passat, but i feel like i would hate a slow FWD car after a short time.
