jeep $500+/month payment + $700 gas/tolls (14mpg avg)
WRX $300-350?month payment + slightly less than $700 in gas and tolls
But even if he gets rid of the Jeep, isnt he still going to owe money on it?? What I mean is if he wants fuel economy, a civic, corolla, elantra, are good choices. A WRX might be fuel efficient, but not on the same level as the other 2. I just dont understand why when someone needs a car, a WRX is one of the first suggestions, its not a one-size-fits-all car, I know I wouldnt have bought one, even if it was cheap.
