Re: what to drive - v 5.0
Pros:
92 SVX - it's an SVX, good sound system, comfortable, don't care if i put 1300 miles on it, decent gas mileage 97 SVX - it's an SVX, good sound system, comfortable 05 FXT - crazy fast, great sound system, lots of cargo space 07 Optima - good gas mileage and regular unleaded fuel use Cons: 92 SVX - age 97 SVX - do i really want to put 1300 miles on it? 05 FXT - horrible gas mileage, uncomfortable seats, and loud 07 Optima - no iPod headunit

Re: what to drive - v 5.0
I've never quite gotten the bit about owning a low mileage car, and then being afraid to put a few miles on it. It isn't like you are going to commute with the 97 SVX... Just a good trip.
But you do have 2 SVXs to choose from, and a turbo Forester. Why leave all of the fun cars at home to drive a kia? I wish I had your problem. It is better than what to save for first: New clutch for the Legacy GT New struts and springs for the LGT Paying off the last bit of student loans, which is the last non-mortgage debt... High-def TV to replace my old CRT SVX project car purchase. Or sell off the LGT, buy the SVX, and the TV and pay off the debt... and rely on a rare 12-17 year old car to commute with... Maybe get a non-turbo old Forester 5-speed to drive in the winter... The SVX was made for road work... pick one and drive it, man! Last edited by BoxerFanatic; 05-12-2009 at 02:52 PM.

Re: what to drive - v 5.0
This is only v 5.0?
 I thought you have more than that.  Why don't you have options such as rent a car, flight, train and walk this time? I voted of your 92 5mt, if not, your Kia optima, not a bad car too.

Re: what to drive - v 5.0
After my experience with the Kia rental car the past couple nights
I must say that Kia has earned my respect. I will never buy one but after what we did to that '08 Kia Rio and it was still running fine and somehow avoided any true damage. I must say its not so terrible... Oh and I will be starting a thread in the not exactly... forum in about a month from now to show pictures and links to video Don't want Enterprise knowing what happened to the poor Kia while I had it. At least not for awhile
