    Howdy from Aus!

    Hey guys just thought I would drop a line to say hi. Picked up my new ES on Friday, smallest car I have ever owned but with the Mrs on my back about saving $$ couldn't go past the fuel economy

    Amazed at the poke the little beast has and that turning circle made my day.

    Any who, I look forward to contributing to this forum over the next few years


    Cheers

    Welcome to the community! Smart wife you've got there.

    CVT or manual? What type of driving will the car typically see?

    (PS: Are you sure you want your email address as your username? Just send me a private message if you want me to change that.)

    I love the turning circle. Coming from a magna which is a boat, requiring an eternity to perform a u-turn, then to thr mirage which requires nothing.
    Also from $60 a week fuel to $30 a month. I am cheering.
    You will love the money you save.
    Where in Australia are you?

    Metro, I ended up getting the CVT. For me it will be all city driving.

    Mistah, I am in Adelaide that's awesome fuel economy
