new car for windsurfer   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #341 of 446 |
Folks, I am in the market for a new car.  My Tercel is terminally ill in that it will not be able to pass emissions in 2010, so I would like to buy a new car sometime between now and then.  Any suggestions for a make and a model.  It must be able to carry my gear, including boards, either within or by use of a rack.  Reliability and longevity are critical, and I am thinking long term, and am cradle to grave type of person.  Fuel economy and low maintenance are also factors.  Any suggestions?

Honda fit, Toyota RAV 4, ???  What would be a good choice?

The way the van tent fits around the back of the van is pretty good but can't be as mosquito tight as a ground tent. Yes, it seems to keep the mosquitos out....
