fleamr. flea and Dillo went out and drove a Ford Fusion tonight. mr. flea loved the Fusion. It drove really nice, he likes the style a lot (I think it's ugly.) But. It's too small for him.
So, where we stand is:
Casper now wants a minivan.
Dillo still wants a Ferrari.
I want a hatchback, and liked the Fit a lot although we didn't drive it and it may not be powerful enough. I have this irrational thing where I think sedans are dorky and old-personish.
mr. flea wants a car he can get excited about, that he likes the look of and the driving feel of. he's leaning towards the Matrix at this point, of what he's looked at, but he's not excited about it.
Our criteria:
1. It must fit mr. flea comfortably, and also a car seat in the back. Dealbreaker.
2. We want good gas mileage, good safety, good reliability. A manual transmission.
3. Style issues.
So, we'll probably satisfy one and two, and forget about 3, I guess.
