What do you need from a car? It sounds like you just generally need something cheap to run. I found out with my Pulsar that 4cyl's arent necessarily more economical than a carefully driven 6. My best consumption is only 9L/100km. The flipside of that is no matter how crazy i drive, it doesnt get that worse. Even when my clutch was fcked and i was shifting at 4000rpm to keep the load off it, it was still around 10L/100km. I paid $1500 for that car which only had 3-4 months rego left, and ive still got it and the clutch has pretty much been the only thing ive had to replace. Recently i was worried the wiper motor had gone, but the nuts holding the wiper arms on just got loose after they started hitting the bonnet whilst coming down. Ive got a friend who payed the same $1500 for a manual EF, but he claims hes had constant headaches with it and is on his 2nd engine. He doesnt get all that worse consumption though.
