Although it's not OD it's almost there, it's forrest green.

It's the new family (read wife) car, Good mileage, fast and comfortable.

I take it your vehicle is the one parked in front of the Honda?

[Juan]

Absolutely, I'm too lazy to get it in the garage since I'm always going to use it the next day. So it's sleeps in the street, as my wife's car. She's lazy too.

We drive a lot so a Fuel efficient car is mandatory, my truck is oil burner so although it's not as efficient as a city car, it has attitude.
We trade in a Renault Twingo for the Honda.

Thats a new one on me. I never heard of a Renault Twingo....Neat looking little car though.

What model Honda is that? I haven't seen one like it in the states. But I swear by my 2004 Honda Odyssey...120k miles and still as smooth as ever

[Juan]

It's a Honda Fit. It's sold in the States under the same name and Honda Jazz in Europe.
It's brand new so I can't push it too much yet but that little car has a 1.5l VTEC engine with 110Hp.
I'm happy with the Fit, specially because my wife is happy and will let me play with my toys.

The Twingo is a great little car 1.1L 60hp, pretty loaded, and we clocked 215000 Kilometers in 4 years of ownership, absolutely trouble free years too.

The main reason for buying this kind of cars is that the Honda gets 35MpG in highway driving anyday and the Renault got 41mpg every time I've checked it out. (of course if my wife is driving)

I'm not surprised you haven't heard of the Renault Twingo, Nick. I don't believe it was ever imported into the US. Not under that name, anyway.
