I’m looking to buy a small SUV or station wagon. I know that Toyota, honda, nissan etc make better quality vehicles, but at the same time they’re also more costlier than the 3 choices i mentioned above. So to save some money, i decided to go for 1 of these 3 brands above. Will suzuki, mitsubishi or subaru prove to be reliable, tough and long lasting vehicles like toyotas and hondas or would it be a bad deal? Which would be the best out of the 3?

Ok,
I’m finally considering it, but I’d like some opinions and some Advise. I already have a car aka a Mitsubishi Gallant 2000 ES with a V6 that does about 30mpg. I’m considering getting a Motor Scooter for my shorter distance trips and regular commuting trips with using the car for long distance commutes and dates (lol) untill something like the Carver One or Venture One comes to my state (Florida). I’m looking for something that does about 90mpg. Here are a few questions I have about scooters:
1. For these 90mpg vehicles, how large is the tank?
2. How fast do these vehicles normally go (I’m no motor head so I couldn’t tell you the difference between a 2 stroke 50cc and a 2 stroke 150cc)
3. Is it a viable long lasting solution regardless of where gas prices may lead?
4. What’s the general perception of people riding them now addays? It used to seem and look rather stupid years ago…
5. Will the price of maintenance = the amount I saved for gas with these vehicles? Or are they relatively low maintenance?

Basically I’d really use it to get to work (about a 15min drive from where I live), and go to a couple stores I normally go to in my area, with limited trips to Hallendale or Miami beach (about 30 to 45 min away).

Im leaving for basic at the end of the month, my starting pay-grade is E-3 (,587.90 base pay) and ill be going into Security Forces. I currently own an 07 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT its payed off but my insurance company charges me about 0 a month for insurance (no im not a bad driver that’s just because of my age) its very small (which hurts my back after driving a while) with very little cargo room and it takes premium fuel Here are the options i have

Plan A: Sell my car so i don’t have to worry about insurance while im at Basic and Tech then when i come back for Recruiter Assistance, buy a certified used car that’s more cost efficient and has more room. The problem is that ill have to worry about paying off that car ans well as whatever the insurance cost is.

Plan B: keep my current car and pay the 0 bucks a month plus the Premium Gas.

Plan C: sell my car and maybe get a bike (pedal not motor) to ride around base or just walk

Does anyone have any advice on what i should do? Im gonna try to get stationed in the south (Florida, Arizona) so i hopefully wont have do deal with cold weather. Do the Bases and nearby towns offer public transportation?
