YACT: Look into the future; What car should I buy in 2007?

I've been looking at buying a used MR2, 35 mpg, handles like a Boxter, you could pick up a used 03'-05' (last model year) for ~50% of the asking price in 07'

Not a lot of HP, but also not a Miata (where you'd see yourself coming & going every time you drove it).

What do you want to do with your new car?

If I wanted a nimble roadster, I'd probably just hold on to the S until 2007. 🙂 Just because it's faster and Honda's less likely to redesign it than Toyota is with the MR2 Spyder

As for what I want to "do" with this new car, I won't do anything much out of the ordinary with it. It'll just be my primary car for going back and forth to work/school, getting groceries and what-not. Might take it on long road trips now and then or up to the mountains during snowboarding season.

Basically, here's what my cars have looked like up to this point:

Fun - *******************
Utility - *
Cost of gas/insurance - *

While "utility" is a pretty vague term, I'm thinking growing older means I'll need more of it...whatever it is

Duh, forgot what you already owned, definitely S2000>MR2
 
Crap...very tempted right now by the Chevy Colorado. The I5, extended cab version can be had for $16.5k right now because of rebates good until the end of this month...

But this would throw off my whole schedule 🙁
 
Alright, that bout of crazy has subsided after being only semi-impressed at the dealership. I've decided that if I'm gonna get anything before 2007, it'll be a bike as those seem less prone to depreciation and drastic redesigns

BTW, if I were to wait until 2007, would I be able to purchase a finally redesigned Ford Ranger? 🙂

i believe that 2005 is the last year for the taurus. it should be completely replaced by the 500 by 2006.

The Altima Hybrid seems tempting from what I've read...I've been wondering when someone would use a hybrid engine for speed rather than sensibility 🙂
