luxury cars mpg best image
Ara
Looking for 2010, 2011 or 2012 luxury car for around 30,000 with close to 40 mpg. My wife and I don't want to settle for a Prius or Civic, but we do want good MPG because we drive so much. Is this possible without spending too much more?
Answer
If you take a closer look at the Prius, you'll see that you aren't "settling". It has many of features only found in luxury cars. It's a mid-sized car, not a compact like the Civic, so room is not a problem.
Note that decent luxury cars start at about $45,000.
My 2004 Prius has cost 12 cents per mile for dealer maintenance, tires, and fuel combined over the 120,000 trouble-free miles I've driven it so far.
My 2004 Prius MPG from the logbook. (Complete years only):
2003-2004 -- 50.8 mpg 17,628 miles
2005 -- 52.6 mpg 14,688 miles
2006 -- 56.3 mpg 16174 miles
2007 -- 57.3 mpg 18384 miles
2008 -- 59.9 mpg 21755 miles
2009 -- 61.4 mpg 16177 miles
2010 -- 65.2 mpg 12134 miles

Hi. Im 17 looking for a car. I want to spend around 4.5 - 5k for a car. I was origionally going to go with a Lexus ES300, but its mpg isnt that great and Super gas costs are pretty high. What sort of luxury cars out there that take regular gas and are reliable. I was looking at a Mazda 626, but people have said they're transmission have problems eventually.
Answer
First of all, Mazda 626s, while okay cars, are not remotely considered to be "luxury" cars. The vehicles that fit in this description include Lexus, Infinity, Acura, Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, etc. Virtually all of them will have leather seats, though there all always exceptions. Unfortunately, the only luxury cars that will be in your price range are going to have extremely high miles on them. If this is not a concern of yours, then go for it. Plan on sinking quite a bit of money into your car the entire time you own it.
