Car Shopping tomorrow.



Okay, we're going new car shopping tomorrow. It's between three different kinds of cars.
1. Hyundai Accent Very nice, but not my fave, I don't think.
2. Kia Rio Also very nice, small and what I would like, but it doesn't have the features that the last one has.
3. Ford Focus They all three look alike, but I like this one the best so far online shopping. They run very well, I know two people that own one and that's what I needed to hear.

I'm only 5' 4" tall and I love small and compact, so that's what we're shopping for. Vincent is all disgusted that I'm not getting some sporty car, but I just want a small sedan. Here is what the Ford Focus looks like. :)



It's cute and little just like I'm looking for. So hopefully I'll have a new car next week. We'll have to see how they're priced first. I'll finally have air conditioning.

I'll let you know what I finally get. Keep your fingers crossed that I get a good deal. :) And I'm looking for a pale green sage like Rod has on his new car. I love green.

I don't know about those cars, but I just recently got a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am and love it. It's smaller than any other car I've had and it get 34 highway/28 around town MPG. It runs and handles great.

Good luck with whatever you end up getting.

These are much smaller and easier to handle. I have terrible depth perception, so I want as small as I can get. LOL I love your car. And the gas milage is about the same I think. Mine might be 36/30. Not sure. But at any rate, it's going to have air conditioning. :)

Yes, yes, a/c is a godsend. I can't imagine being without it in a car, especially where you live. It'd be miserable.

I have to admit that I find it very funny what Americans consider a compact car. When I went to florida, I was offered a free upgrade from the smallest car to medium compact car but it was still bigger than my car back home which I considered very roomy. I think American cars are just built biger. Good luck with the shopping

Ford Focus is pretty small, which I like about it. Most cars are just too big for me. But these are nice and small. :) I can't wait to start looking. I hope it happens sometimes this week. Woo Hoo.

Woo Hoo

They're all good cars, and I'm so happy that you're going to be more able to get around in summer now!

Just think, one of these days we're going to be able to go somewhere and meet up again. :) I'm so looking forward to that. I have someone else that would like to meet up with us too. I've got to call you about that, I keep forgetting. :)

That'd be great!

I hate car shopping I'm a big gal and need a nice roomy car. LOL, it is not fun trying to squish into some of the smaller cars.

The Focus looks nice and the color you want is nice too. Hopefull you'll find the car at a nice price in the color you want.
