    My next one will be a hybrid, even though I bought a car with good gas mileage last time.

    I wanted a car that was made in my local area. My Mazda6 was built in Flatrock MI.

    We just bought a vehicle last year. It was the first time we bought a vehicle after having our two kids. Keeping them as safe as we possible can was the first thing on my list. Fuel efficiency was a close second.

    I purchased a Hybird this time. It is the first hybrid vehicle I have ever owned and I have been very happy with it. It also had almost all the features that I wanted in a vehicle.

    I bought a new vehicle two years ago. Fuel efficiency and safety were big factors, but my main concern was reliability in my price range. I did alot of research using Consumer Reports because I wanted data and opinions from real people and not advertisements. It was worth it. I decided on a Hyundai Elantra and I am very satisfied.

    I have always loved Honda's and Toyota's, I could have said Brand loyalty. But I chose an Acura for all the little extras and since it is made by Honda, I know I am getting a reliable car. I am so happy with my purchase.
