Bit the bullet

Well after a tuneup, 45psi tires and scanguage monitoring, airfilter back to stock and everything else I could try the Camry MPG was stuck at 29-34mpg...34 was a one shot thing and 29 was more the norm. I took delivery of a 2008 civic LX 5spd last night! The Camry needed about 1k of body work (paint cracked) and 1k of brakes and a steering shaft. So it was a no brainer, I financed the entire difference in the two cars and added the Honda 100k warranty and still have a $155 car payment at 5.4%! I could have bought the car cash but I can do better than 5% investing the money. (plus I can write off the interest )

Hoping for 40mpg, will keep you guys posted, BTW I drove the Mazda3, Focus,Corolla,accord 5spd, and Prius. First choice was the Prius but the 7k difference in price was a killer along with the poor ice/snow performance some have reported. Civic is in my humble opinion 3x the car that the Corolla is and a little better (other than performance) than the Mazda.
