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

Luxury or Sports car?
Tommy
I'm getting a second car and I'm deciding over a luxury or sports car. I currently have a 2011 Mercedes E550, it's luxurious and sporty at the same time. But now I'm deciding over a car that's main priority is luxury or sportiness. I'm 17 years old and I can truly say that I'm more mature than the rest of my classmates. I do enjoy having a comfortable ride going to point A to B, but I would also like having a good time meanwhile. I like having stiff suspensions and a low ride to fell closer to the road, but I could easily go the other way. My budget is $40,000, please give me any suggestions.

Hi Chang
Parents are impressed with a off spring with a sensible car so it maybe a good idea to stick with the current formula.
so a newer version of what you have might just be what is needed.
