Hey

I am in the market for a car, I am looking for the most fuel efficient car that I can still use for trips, hauling gear and what not. I was considering a civic or a corolla (considered smaller cars like the echo/yaris but just too small). I am leaning towards the civic and would like some info on them. I coming from a 1993 4Runner which is ridiculous on gas.

So I am wondering what year I should look into? I was thinking around 98-01 depending on the price and 4dr/5spd. I would like to be able to haul a small trailer with it with possibly a snowmobile and bikes. Looking to put a roof rack for bike and a roof box. Any input on how these cars work hauling a light weight trailer and it affects the mileage with a roof box and trailer?

Any other info would be great.

 

Hey, for towing tralers and stuff like that there was a thread about this a little wile ago,i dont think civics are to good for that, but i think there was some guy who towed his dirt bikes with his civic and never had any problems..i would try to go for mabey a CRV, something still really good on gas but more for that kind of stuff

 

I thought of that...When I bought my 4Runner it was suppose to be pretty good on gas but it slowly got worse...I went from 450km's on a tank to 300...So I was trying to get away from the whole SUV thing. I will be towing Downhill pedal bikes. 4 bikes at a total weight of 200 pounds + trailer + some gear. Dirtbikes would weight a fair bit more...

 

crv's wont let you down... this is a honda we are talking about here
