<DIV><SPAN class=531144312-02112004>I have been driving the Toyota Matrix for a
year and a half and am very satisfied with the loading capacity and the
mileage. Go for a test drive, you'll be surprised. I used to have VW Golf
diesel, but then their prices went up so much that it would take me years to
save enough on gaz to justify the price difference between the Matrix and the
Golf.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV> Hi All</DIV>
<DIV> The info on this Ford hybrids gas mileage, I heard ,was probaly
more like 30mpgs average. Whatever average is.</DIV>
<DIV> I do know that my daughters Prius gets a legitimate 45 city and
over 50 on the road. If I wasn't 6 ft. 4 I'd be driven one. As it is I'm stuck
in the 83 Porsche coupe. Shucks ,Hey don't snicker. I can get (squeeze) a
grand action in the front seat & all my tools in the trunk. 17 city 21
hiway. Could be worse. grin.</DIV>
