first car i've driven with a stick and i've gotten used to it. it's got some cool features like heated black leather seats, sunroof, cd changer and such, although i use cassette -> 1/8" jack for my mp3 player. the only thing i wish it had were steering wheel controls, but to get that with the car it would have had to come with some silly package. its got a nice grooved leather steering wheel so i guess i can live with it

Seriously now, I have a Fiat Palio (well my mom does but I always borrow it so...). It's a pretty good car for brazilian standards

Need to get a better pic of it, took this one when I got it back from the Renault Garage where it was bought:

Only rich people own big cars here. Gas is overtaxed.

I don't need a Brazillian to tell me gas is overtaxed, I live in the UK where its like 99.9p a litre and about 70p of that is tax.

Hence the economical 1.2 16v engine that has a stupid amount of mid-range power when its needed and a nice top speed 108mph (on paper, which is wrong because I've had it at 120).

I'll go with everyone and say steering wheel controls are great too.

you and your brand new cars. get old cars!

I'll be happy if I get 15mpg. I'm expecting around 12mpg

I don't have a car, I've been drving my mums skoda fabia for a little time now, it sucks more than ANYTHING.

I can't wait til I get my license and get to drive dads 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Mini's suck, I hate the ride in them. Quite spacious for the size but you know you're in trouble when you and a mate can pick up your friends car and move it over the otherside of the town square.

My computer says I'm getting 42.5mpg at the moment and I've been driving it quite harshly, wonder what it will be on a motorway run.
