I can't complain at all. My insurance is about half what it was on the '95 4Runner  ..
Payments are lower also. There's enough headroom in there for me to put up one of the rear seats (they fold sideways against the wall) and bungee my bike (standing up) to it. Enough legroom to sit with my feet going straight up and down. Comfortable.. Even has drink holders for everyone 
Fine call me a hippie then

2001
Ford Ranger
Cinnamon Red
Not ever 16,000 miles it her
Yes I drive a truck!  I also hate the truck! There is no room for any passengers, or shopping bags, or anything but you and one other person. I also hate the way it drives and turns, and it's only a 4 cylinder!
But as much as I bitch about the truck, I love her so much that I named her (Yes I'm one of those people) Her name is BIG RED! Get it? LOL

LOL Smiley. Its an advantage to being in your 30s, you have money. ha ha hahaha ha
For the record--about $130 a month is all the separates the Jetta (lowest priced) from the BMW convertible (Highest priced)
I have a 2000 Jetta GLX now that I love! But I won't buy it at lease end it just doesn't make sense to finance the $15K of payoff. I'd be paying $400 a month for a 4 year old car w no warranty...
When for $100 more, I could have NEW BMW.
Or for about $30 more, I could have new Jetta.

I have a 2002 Supercharged Silver Nissan Xterra. It just had it's first birthday in February, so it's just starting to get broken in. You know the ones in the commercials that have people saying one million uses and counting? That's my car, exactly
I love everything about it EXCEPT the gas mileage, which has only started to bother me since the average premium gallon has gone up to $1.85.

Just be happy you don't live in northern cali. Gas around here is above $2.00 a gallon for regular! I think today it is actually $2.07, 2.17, and 2.27 (regular-premium) at one gas station I passed. This really sucks since I live a town away from school. I have to fill up once a week! Ouch

amycat: My boss has that Mercedes, and absolutely loves it. It's a terrific car! (Not that I will own one in this 100 years, but I know it's a good car b/c the boss is a huge snob and wouldn't settle for anything but the best.)

Mere Mere: My Jetta is blue too, 2000, GLX and I LOVE IT!
But I've had 3 Jettas now, I am ready to move on.
Moxie: THANKS! Only prob I have w the Mercedes C230 is its a 4 cylinder engine. My Jetta is a 6 now and I love that, the C340 (? or is it 320, too lazy to look it up) is a 6, but starts getting out of my price range...or is at the tippy top of it, at least.

actually the C230 kompressor is the cheapest model, i believe...if you're looking at the lower-end of luxury cars i would seriously consider any of the Infinti models. The G35 coupe is an incredible piece of machinery.....

yeah I know the feeling - I just bought a 2002 Explorer, needed the extra room with the baby and all......VW doesn't make an SUV and I had an Explorer before the Jetta so I thought why not
that Honda Element is kinda cool though
