I have owned a car, and a motorcycle from the day I turned 16 year's old. Life in the rural areas of the American Western Mountain's tend's to make you HAVE to Drive. In Idaho, a 14 year old can get a licence, with extreme lesson's and requirement's.
Because of this environment, wimpy car's are more dangerous. Playing on these road's require HORSEPOWER. Chinese tourist's often cause crashes by renting tiny car's from California. They are not used to high speed's and open road's and make some very poor choice's in pulling out into lane's of travel.
Fuel efficiency is not always in the driver's best interest's.
Every environment has it's best car/truck.
I use a Ford Mustang GT as my working 'road compliance' car. A Chevy C-30 one tonne duel, as my 'winch' truck to remove wreckage.
I'm not sure I could say which is my favorite however........ Both serve a purpose. The Truck however is much better, because it contain's no computerized component's. Purely mechanical, so it is SO easy to fix.
I pity people who buy electric car's. I actually saw the first electric charging station in my city. We tend to cater to tourist's and this was a charging station set up by a private business man. He set up 20 charging station's 2 year's ago in a Hilton Hotel's parking lot. Last time I drove by there was not a single car 'plugged in.' In fact, I've never seen a car plugged in.
With a range of only 200 mile's at best...... No electric car could even get into this city without a Tow.
it make's me laugh a bit, at the folly of it all........
Batteries will improve in time.....
However till then, Give me a 8 cylinder 7.9 liter engine in a huge chunk of UGLY steel, and I will happily crush rock's and small car's pulling them up the side's of cliff's....... That's just my choice of Toy's, in my working environment. Useful, not flashy..... UMMMM scratch that,
The light's are flashy, the truck is useful. The car just provides very fast transportation to incident's.
I really have no use for travel and hate it actually.
For a self made Woman I would suggest this car:
2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack
MPG: Up to 15 city / 25 highway
MPG (city / hwy)
14 / 23
15 / 25
I hate all the color's they are being offered in, but what is underneath the Paint, is an AMAZING car.
Defiantly not for the New Driver, but one a woman can be very proud to drive once she learn's how.
This beast will do 0 to 60 MPH in 4.3 second's. Extremely expensive to drive in city traffic however.
One must plan for the environment you drive in.......
My very first car I bought Myself at 19, was a Subaru Justy. 3 cylinder's of 'Get-U-There'. Collage Life of humility, was priceless to me. I cried when I handed the key's over to the new owner, so I could buy my first, super-car.
Now I'm Spoiled.
It is Impossible for me to Rent car's now. I get in them and instantly Hate sitting in coffin's. American Made Car's are the safest in the world.
The driver's however, are NOT. Crushed and dead by Stupidity, every time.
There is a major crash involving a super car at least once a week here. Every time it has been a man and woman drinking at a bar, and ending up Eating Dirt.
Living where people have more money than common sense, make's the Dodge Challenger actually as common as a bicycle in Paris.
My Mustange GT's ^ do everything I want them to do.
