If you’re 32 and still driving an econobox, it basically announces to the world that you have done much with your Masters in Theatre and Puppetry.


I can't take seriously anyone who judges someone based on what kind of car they drive. You remind me of my blowhard uncle who makes $110k/year living in Wisconsin and thinks he's a big shot.



Well, at least your uncle probably thinks enough of himself to not drive a Yarris. So at least he’s got that going for him.

Or it shows that they refuse to compete in the rat race and would rather spend their money on other things rather than a fancy overly priced car. Who are you trying to impress?

Lol! Awesome wit my friend. Others will pipe up to disagree with you and give a contrasting anecdote, but overall, you nailed it.

Getting good gas mileage is important to me and the Forester is larger than I would like.


A Forester is too BIG for you!?!?

Is that sarcasm ?


Forester poster here. I do mostly city driving and so far I’m getting 20 mpg. I fill up every 2 weeks.

OP here and thank you everyone. I think I'm going to get the new AWD Prius. You just can't beat Toyota's reliability. I actually just read an article from consumer reports talking about Honda's reliability falling in rank.

My Prius was so perfect I miss it still 6 years after trading it in for a large suv. It was amazing and ran like new every day for years.

I had a 2007 Prius. Loved it and last year upgraded to Prius V. Doesn’t have as good mpg as the Prius, but still get around 36-40 mpg depending on how cold it is and how much city driving I do.
