    My neighbors already think I'm looney, they have seen a BMW, Ferrari, and Corvette get off loaded at my house, now I pull up in this thing, all my "manly" friends laugh at it, but I get the last laugh when I drive all week, for the amount of gas they use a day ;)

    Great cars. I have an M3 and a 330 (Ferrari not BMW) for fun a RAV 4 (similar theme to the XA but 2 sizes bigger) for everything else, up to 30 mpg with good capacity and AWD.

    How come you opted for the xA over the tC (my personal fave :) )?

    My 944 gets about 4mpg on throttle, so I putt around in a 2.0 8v Gti (1997) Sometimes I think it's more fun than the Pcar and it gets 35mpg ALL THE TIME (even when i'm driving sideways :) )

    Because with the xA I can lay the rear seats down flat and still have ALOT of hauling space.

    I wouldn't mind one of these but they are still expensive for my budget
