Hi guys, big news. I had been under alot of tension lately due to problems from my car, but now I bought a brand new one. As some of you have known, I have been having troubles with my previous car, which was a used 1999 Nissan Altima. Now it has run its course since its transmission is nearly completely shot.
My new car is a Toyota Scion IQ, which is alot like those popular Smart Cars. It gets 40 miles to the gallon, and it came with an awesome 15 year 100k mile warranty. I did'nt expect my dad to have me get the car outright, but I did and I think it will save me alot of money in gas.

Good deal
15 years would be a lifespan of a Toyota if you take good care of it of course.
There is no such thing as a bad car, there is only bad people. If you don't change the oil, or check the tires, do maintenance, treat a car like crap, it will break early.

Yep. That's exactly why thousands upon thousands of Toyotas were recalled over the last 5 years.
Careful with that brake pedal, Rune. You don't want to go shooting forward into a storefront.

That's what the warranty is for.
But if you really want a good car, with a strong fuel economy, that last. Get a Hyundai. The Koreans are the new Japanese in vehicle manufacturing. The Elantra looks beautiful, its cheap, and it has a good fuel economy.
Also there is a bonus to the Elantra, mine specifically has had three accidents, two of which were not my fault, and it did not receive any damage at all.

So far, besides the fact that I'm pretty much in transition from a clunker to a classy, the car responds fairly well. I got all the warranties I could so I can go the next 10 years and the next 100k miles and be covered by whatever hits me. I'm a really safe driver. Dad says I'm overly cautious but thats because I did'nt want to get into an accident on the first couple of days into my new ownership.
