Here's the situation. I've owned a '11 Vagon with Recaros since January of this year, and love it. It does everything I've asked of it, it's very comfotable, and I like its creature comforts. Not as fast as my GT-R, but that's apples and oranges. Anyway, just had an offer on a home accepted, so we'll be moving in July. The problem is, my commuting distance will double, and I estimate my daily R/T to be between 70 to 80 miles. Based upon the fuel economy of this vehicle, I estimate that I'll be filling up twice a week, at the end of every third work day. So I am considering the possibility of selling the Vagon and getting something more fuel efficient. The problem is, look at my past vehicles, I've definitely always had a need for speed! So here's what I'm looking for:
Relatively fuel efficient (18MPG or better City, 20 MPG or better HWY)
Fast (come on, I can't be driving a grocery getter or a Prius!)
Not out of this world maintenance/service costs
Preferably AWD (RWD okay but a great set of snow tires must get me through the occasional snow in the DC area)
Space to comfortably seat my eight year old in the back
Thanks!
