For a zippy car, look for one w/sub-9.5 second 0-60 accel times along with the required mpg rating. The mpg/accel times compromise can be related to the car’s configuration too, especially whether you have an automatic or manual transmission, so do the necessary research. The Toyota Camry – while sometimes thought of as a geezer car – has pretty good 0-60 times as I recall. That’s one to consider. I don’t think the Corolla or Yaris are as zippy.
more of a guideline than a rule… 
THAT’s the line I was trying to think of!!
Thanks wes.
Thanks sojourners,no I actually appreciate recommendations(dont know if I like the automatic logouts I seem to be experiencing now)(some things are better left alone-micromanaging ruins a lot of good things)part of the reason I dont showup here,as often-Kevin
Sorry to butt in, and I hope I’m not micromanaging by asking - I’m sorry to hear you’re getting logged out, Kevin. If anyone else is having the issue, please let me know (on my wall or privately, so we don’t derail the thread).
No Carolyn,no one is dissing you-the fact that you picked up on that so quickly,proves you are doing your job(some Folks arent redflags are they?)-Thanx,Kevin
