1984 Colt GTS Turbo comes to mind. 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo.

Except I can buy an 80s Colt GTS, have a car that is a riot to drive, and only sacrifice a couple mpgs.

They were both cheap, reliable as hell, and got decent economy. WTF do you expect from a cheap econobox?

Daily driving a Toyota Prius is a rolling statement that reads “I care about fuel economy and will sacrifice everything else for it.”

the Cobalt had almost nothing going for it.

Unreliable, ugly, boring, lifeless, these are all factors that came together to make the fifth-generation Chevrolet Malibu.

I have no argument about wagons, I love them, I just wish someone still offered a full-size with 7 passenger seating like the Roadmaster/Caprice/Custom Cruisers.

I average 25mpg. Have pulled as high as 28mpg running all hwy.

I’d rather buy a cheap used econobox, spend the $1000s I save modifying said econobox, and go out and smoke performance cars.

Can I mod said Marquis myself?

“The powerful of a V8 without the humiliation of a minivan.”

The want is strong here.

This immediately made me think of the Colin Mcrae video, when he crashes his old Legacy numerous times. Gets rolled, kicks out the windshield, loses a wheel at some point and still finishes the race.

Which is far too cramped inside for 4 adults. They might as well of made the Mustang and Camaro 2 seaters, that’s all that’s useful in them anyway.

This one is far more impressive.

It was packing an extra 600lbs over the car the driveline was originally for.

Driven the Hellcat, the SRT, and an SXT. I can say from experience, ALL 3 are exceptional on the track, especially when compared to other cars their size/weight.

I’m going to say there must have been some under-lying issue with yours. I’ve never heard of one getting under 25mpg.
