Hey everyone.
When I created the original thread, I wound up getting every response possible as many peoples’ needs had changed. Mine have not, as well as many of you here. With the fix for manual 2012-2014 cars being rejected in New Jersey, I’m going to reopen my search for a replacement. I’m looking for high miles per gallon (read as 40+) for a replacement. New cars are not out of the question. So far all I have found are:
Accord hybrid
Camry hybrid
Fusion hybrid
CX-5 diesel (if it ever shows up)
Looks like I’ll have to ditch the manual transmission finally. I don’t feel like searching the country for a 2015 manual Passat TDI. I’m also looking to keep costs down in the pricing area. I enjoyed everything Volkswagen offered in their cars with most items standard or minor upgrades such as satellite radio, heated seats and mirrors, and “leather” seats in the Passat. What I’d like in the new car is good interaction with the smartphone, if possible. Some rentals I have driven, such as dodge and even a newer Volkswagen bug dune edition, have this.
Open to your suggestions.
