So while the escape treated us good for 5 years, the gas use for me to use it as a daily driver was way too high. 120km a day and effectively getting 17mpg highway/city sucked at the gas pump.

So now we have our first non ford in a while, I needed something different and rather like the choice I made. 2006 Matrix Auto w/ 80k. I looked at a whole bunch of cars, and finally this one had everything we wanted. It actually has as much room inside as the escape for hauling stuff and uses less than 1/2 the gas so its a win win for us.



I tried to make it a focus, but every one I looked at in the price range was in crappy shape, and had one thing or another that was not right.
