New Car, Eight Months Later


New Car, Eight Months Later
Originally uploaded by Binky's Photos

So far, our Corolla has over 16,000 kms on it and no problems.

Its averaging 7.5 L/100 km or 37.66 miles to the gallon Imperial or 31.362 miles to the gallon U.S.

About 99.9% of the time I ecstatic that we bought a car and not the Mazda 5 "Microvan" that we also test drove. I'm always happy that we paid just a little bit extra and bought the LE trim with keyless entry, keyless ignition, wood trim, cruise control, and automatic climate control.

I think we'll get a brand new car every ten years, "whether we need it or not" :-)

  1. great! that is solid gas mileage... My Honda Civic is doing fine. It is nice to have things that 'just work'. The little touches are very nice indeed.... it is good to splurge a bit for something that will be in service for 10+ years
