Do any vehicles meet this criteria? My ideal car would be an sti hatch but it can’t tow and fuel mileage is nothing impressive, so what’s out there. criteria: good on gas/disel \>30mpg Sporty/attractive looking car has enough room to carry larger parts like say a full exhaust or a full set of rims and tires awd or 4x4 ---

Duramax 3500 express van, EFI live tune, shift kit thats it. Pedo bear on the side, trailer hooked up, S2K on the back… run and beat half the cars here from a dig or roll. and still get 25mpg No kidding at all. ---

if i didn’t need to tow it’d deffinately be an Audi A3 TDI…and it gets about 25 more mpg than my truck does. hmmm, Pops has a truck i could borrow occasianally. I really have to think this one over, fwd though ---

I take the towing aspect out of it, what can i get that has very good gas mileage and is still a good car. something comparable to the A3 in terms of performance styling etc ---

'06 or older Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab. '07+ have the dpf bullshit and are worse on fuel. My brother’s Ram usually gets 23 mpg and he drives it hard so with a lighter foot you should get 25. ---

Our 3500 express vans get 25mpg highway with the high top and an extra 2-3k pounds of gear. This is at 65-75mph. And they can boogie too. With the right mods and tune Im sure they would get close to 30mpg or better. And you can say I daily drive it… ---
