Ok, i am going to get a new car or truck soon, but can't decide on which one, so what do you guys suggest out of these options...
If i get another truck, i am trying to decide between another dakota or toyota tacoma prerunner. I have driven a prerunner and i have to say it has a lot of power for a v6.
But the problem with a truck is gas mileage, i would be spending a lot of money on gas, and these prices aren't going down anytime soon. So if i get a car i'm stuck between a suburaru WRX, a neon SRT-4, or a mazda 6. All have about the same hp and 0-60 times.
What do you guys think?

Gas prices will drop as soon as Iraq is taken care of. As for the cars, a Mazda 6 would be my pick.

The gas prices right now have nothing to do with IRAQ, and everything to do with Venuzuela.(SP???) but anyway..... if you go for the WRX or the srt4 then your gas is not going to be much better. Turbos eat gas big time, depending on how you drive em. The dak's my choice but for fuel.... the new 6.

I would still buy the Jetta 1.8T before the SRT-4 just due to build quality. I think the SRT-4 is a great idea, but we'll see how well it's executed...

The srt-4 is incredible, you forget it's a neon. Absolutely amazing power, and gas is rated at 22 and 30.
What kind of vehicle are you replacing? Do you need a truck? If you don't need a truck and worry about gas prices, then get a car. After driving the SRT-4 for one block I was sold on it. After driving it for 15 miles I almost bought it (but I just got my dak).
Depending on where you live, an SRT-4 could be hard to get though (I have 10 I can sell you :-)
