Need ideas for a daily driver, high MPG, real high please and roomy..

Civic Si? Yeah, they are nice, but I see my friends and I am just like..."It is nice..."
Idea for a daily driver:
~Drive to and from work is about 30-40 miles daily.
~Lease a car for two years to daily drive? Just find one of those 99 or 199 a month deals.

Only time I would drive it is to and from work, and not even every day. Have to enjoy the Z during the week once and awhile.
35 miles a day times 365 is only 12775, which means I would be well under the that since I do not plan to drive it on long trips or on weekends.

I've never thought about leasing a car for a DD. That might be a better idea than a cash car.

Jetta TDI wagon. My clear bra installer has one and it gets over 40mpg.

Just thought of it, newer car, nothing fancy, good MPG. Should be low cost of maintenance or try to get one of those free maintenance during lease deals, basic oil changes, etc.

Yeah. I might crunch some numbers this weekend. If I could get a Kia or some crap for $99/ month, it would probably be cheaper over two years than a cash car. The one issue for me, though, would be mileage penalties. I did close to 55k last year.

You could take my tC as soon as it gets off the boat from Germany.
