[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 13670494, member: 124691"] IMO, the best bang for the buck goes to an Escort. Yes, my friends made fun of me for DD'ing an Escort while my wife drove a "nice" car...and my Cobra sat in the garage. I bought a '97 Scort (pristine condition) with 152K on it.....drove it to 323K miles with only replacing the tires, pads, and master cylinder. I drove it 25K miles/year....and did 15K mile oil changes....and never even checked fluids. It got 36.5 - 37.9 MPG week in, week out. I recently picked up a 2005 Focus ZX4 for a great deal, with 101K miles on it. I chose the 2005 because of the timing chains, not belts.... It's doing good, after already putting 15K on it. I think it will go 200+ easy. I also owned a 2004 SVTF - it was incredible. I sold it with 76K miles on it, and all I did to it was tires. It now has 119K on it by the 2nd owner, and 30K miles were with a turbo. Needless to say, I have good luck with fords....especially the Escort/Focus. Those are my recommendations. [/QUOTE]
