Daily Driver Suggestions?
Looking to park the Duramax and get into a reasonable daily driver. I commute 100mi a day and need something comfortable with decent mileage. I'm 6'2" / 250lbs..........any suggestions?

I always appreciate my 2008 duramax after driving my car a week or so. I think every fellow should have truck and a car. Looking for economy and/ sporty? Maybe older Cadillac STS(lots room), impala, of course the option of all the new high line autos. You after just a moderate price used car?

Biggest complaint, everything feels "cheap" compared to his 745. He loves to rattle off the gas mileage though! Car was about 25K brand new.

I drove 132 miles a day back and fourth to work for 7 years. I would buy disposable cars. $500-$1000 vehicles that would get good gas mileage. My favorite disposable vehicle is my '96 cutlass 4 door. My Saturn and Cavalier were kinda cramped. A Grand Prix is nice but they do not get the mileage that a Cutlass, Regal or Bonneville get. I don't know why, maybe different gearing cause it is a sportier car. After adding up full coverage and car payment, it was better for me to just spend $500 for car $45/month for PLPD ins. and drive it into the ground. Funny thing is I was only stranded once in 7 years, when I drove my new truck and the fuel pump went out.

$3-3500. I'd rather stay '95 and up and I turn my own wrenches.
Looked at a decent '95 V6 Accord yesterday w/ 155k. Have seen numerous cars that will work, just can't see myself in them. Need to get the ego out of the picture and get what I need, not want.
Thanks for the input!
