Okay, I know this is the wrong forum for this question, but I respect the wealth of auto knowledge that uses this forum (yes, that was sucking up!)
I suddenly find myself needing to do a LOT of highway driving and may easily do 40 to 45,000 miles a year. I'm looking for suggestions for a small car that gets great highway milage per gallon (40+...or the equivalent in kilometers per litre) AND has a powertrain that can stand up to such high mileage. Of course I'm looking to buy a new car...with this kinda miles, I'm thinking of something almost disposable....drive it for three years and scrap it.
Any ideas? My quick research from a MPG standpoint points me toward Suzuki Swift or the Honda Civic VX, etc. I assume the honda would be more durable, but I know nothing about the Suzuki powertrain.
ANY and ALL input appreciated.
