I need a new surround sound receiver

Fusion has AWD, Mazda has FWD. It's a wash.

not all Fusions are AWD. And obviously I am not comparing the fuel consumption of the AWD to the FWD.

On yeah, and the ramp was on an uphill, probably... oh, I'm terrible at estimating hill grades. 10 degrees? So figure the shitbox would need even more time to reach speed.

I will do such a comparison. Is it fair? No. Is it valid by my criteria? Yes. Is my criteria more important to me than fairness? Absolutely.

And that criteria states that AWD shall be given preference over FWD. Thus, the Fusion would be chosen as AWD (because it can have it), and the Mazda as FWD (because AWD isn't an option).

:awe:

 

[MotF Bane]

Yes, it's totally unfair, but *shrug* that's how I'd be buying the car. I'd rather have a Mazda than a Ford.

 

[MotF Bane]

And, since at the moment, I have all the time in the world to find a car, I can be patient.

right. You should just say you prefer the Mazda

I like Mazdas too, but fuel economy-wise don't hold your breath.

 

[MotF Bane]

Running a search. Mazda 6 s, 2005-2007, 100 miles.

Okay. I prefer the Mazda.

I do appreciate the input. Despite your excessive bias towards realism that insists I can't look at really nice cars. 🙁

I get 18-19, I drive 9k miles per year. Fuel economy is fairly low on my list of priorities. Actually, it's really, really low on the list.

 

[MotF Bane]

17 results, about a dozen of them are more than 50 miles away. Ouch.

Check Amazon for last year's models for a significant discount.

 

[MotF Bane]

If fuel economy was really high on my list, I'd be looking at four cylinders.

I drive an AWD, there is no fuel economy to speak of.

 

[sdifox]

9k mi is very little.

 

[alfa147x]

move to SC and buy a FWD. Save money and put a nice tan on

 

[sdifox]

FWD works fine in winter too.

 

[alfa147x]

FWD works fine in winter too.

Then why buy awd?

 

[MotF Bane]

Narf.

 

[sdifox]

Bane you should shoot for the 3.5 AWD Fusion 😛

 

[MotF Bane]

move to SC and buy a FWD. Save money and put a nice tan on

If I move to SC, I'm buying RWD.

 

[MotF Bane]

9k mi is very little.

Indeed it is. Keeps gas costs and maintenance costs down.

 

[MotF Bane]

Bane you should shoot for the 3.5 AWD Fusion 😛

That's a 2010 or newer I do believe.
