With the rising gas prices, we’ve all seen the shift from big SUV’s to smaller, more compact cars that are better on gas. If you’re sick of paying $3.00 a gallon for a vehicle that gets only 10 miles per gallon, then consider the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla or the Kia Spectra. These three cars are great on gas because of their small size. Even if you don’t drive like grandma, these cars will still save you a ton of money.
The Honda Civic is the only one of these three that makes a hybrid model which drives comfortably and gets unbeatable gas mileage. Why not consider going from paying $60-$70 a week to just $10 a month with a new Honda Civic Hybrid? Your wallet will certainly thank you for this change. Honda Service Manual
If you’re not looking for a hybrid, check out the regular model. This car comes in different models so you can choose if you want the most economical, or a car that is a bit expensive but has a few added luxuries like a leather interior, but still comes with the great gas mileage you would expect in the cheapest model. The Honda Civic is a very affordable compact car that will save you a lot of money on gas.
The Toyota Corolla is known for being very dependable. With Toyotas, parts are also easy to find and you won’t pay a fortune if something happens to go wrong. This car is very small so if you’re looking for a lot of extra leg or head room, buying something bigger is probably a better option for you. Toyota Chiltons Shop Manual
The Toyota Corolla handles great and you’ll never have to worry about being stranded on the side of the road because this is a very reliable car. This car is also very affordable. If you’re looking for your first car, or just looking to downgrade to something affordable and great on gas, you should definitely check out the Toyota Corolla.
The Kia Spectra is another option for a compact car that’s great on gas. This car is also very small but it gets great gas mileage and recently Kia has added more user friendly options in the car.
If you’re looking for a car that’s great on gas mileage and will save you money, these three options are all worth looking into!
With economies all over the world suffering from the economic down turn. Now is the time to get a good deal on that sub compact that you need to get through these tuff economic times. Toyota is offering huge incentives on their Corolla, Honda is offering a zero down payment (for all qualified buyers) and KIA will almost pay you to take there’s.
The Toyota Corolla Chiltons Shop Manual has a long history with the United States, it’s celebrates 40 years of selling a cheap, no frills car, with great gas mileage this year. The Corolla today is base priced at fifteen thousand dollars and tops out at twenty thousand dollars for the XRS. The big difference between the fifteen thousand dollar Corolla and the twenty thousand dollar Corolla is the 1.8L 132hp engine and the 2.4L 158 hp engine offered in the XRS. You loose 5mpg both highway and city dropping from 34 mpg highway to 29 mpg and from 27 mpg city to 22 mpg which kind of defeats the purpose of buying the Toyota Corolla in the first place.
The Honda Civic Chiltons Repair Manual has been offered in the United States for thirty five years. In that time it has evolved from a tin can on wheels to an affordable, reliable, easy to maintain car with a great resale value. Today’s Honda Civic offers a wide range of models ranging in price from fifteen thousand dollars to just over twenty five thousand dollars. Twenty five thousand dollars may seem steep for a little four banger but tuners all over the world crave this car. Slap a computer chip, exhaust system, and rims on this car and you have yourself a car any teenager would love to have. The basic DX Coupe 5-Spd Mt comes standard as a five door hatch back with a 5 speed manual transmission, power windows, driver and passenger side airbags, and ABS brakes as standard. The amenities offered in the GX 5-Spd AT are almost like what is offered in a luxury sedan leather seating, traction control, ABS breaks, sunroof, power door locks, and much more. There are so many options and models offered by Honda that you can pretty much walk into a Honda dealership and ask them for any variation in options and colors that you can think of and they will be able to deliver it.
The KIA Spectra Service Manual is Korea’s answer to Japans stronghold on the sub compact market. It is priced to sell with a base price of less then thirteen thousand dollars and only fifteen thousand dollars for the high end SX. It does have an appeal if for no other reason then it is cheap. The problem is it is just that cheap, the pedal needs to be held to the floor to stay with the flow of traffic, the automatic transmission never shifts correctly giving you a jerky ride and the interior falls apart in the heat. The safety record should be the most concerning rating 2 out of 5 stars in driver to driver collision. Making it the lowest rated car of the three sub compact cars reviewed here. It is not all bad though the 2.0L 138hp engine comes very highly rated getting high marks for reliability, ease of maintenance and overall performance.
When purchasing any of these three cars keep in mind that car dealerships all over the world are willing to make huge concessions to sell you a car and recommend an automotive repair manual. Your goal price should be as close to base invoice price as possible. For the Toyota Corolla the base invoice price is $14,352 for the Honda Civic the base invoice price is $13,982 and for the KIA Spectra it is $12,965. Good luck and happy car shopping.
