VW GTI?
I'm thinking that it might be time to trade in my car. My Escape has served me well, but it seems to be spending a lot of time in the shop these days, which makes me reluctant to keep once my warranty expires in a few months.
I'm thinking that I want something that still has some decent storage capacity, like my Escape, but I don't want to deal with the poor mpg I get from my Escape. My original thought was to get a hybrid SUV, but the only one in the size I'm interested in is the Escape hybrid, which seems too much like keeping my current car. So now I'm looking at standard cars with decent fuel economy. I test drove the VW GTI last weekend because a guy at work recommended it to me, but I probably need to look at some more options before I make up my mind on this.
