Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Once again,I am dreaming about a newer safer more economical vehicle. I have used two websites to guide me in my goal of obtaining a vehicle that gets 30 mpg highway, and that is crashworthy. These websites FYI are fueleconomy.gov, and crashtest.com.I notice that about 2003, side curtain airbags become more common, and more vehicles that have them are in safer categories.I also have to consider budget, so I recently looked at a used 2000 Subaru Forester with front airbags(46 K miles)for $11,500, vs a new 2006 Forester with dual front and side curtain airbags for $19,500(the 2007 models are coming soon,so 2006 are being blown out). Any comments abut this decision process, or personal history about similiar vehicles? I want a tailgate model vehicle such as Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4 considering our sports and hauling needs.
