Consider this though, how many F150 owners truly use their truck for "truck things"? Especially raptor owners.
Most people use their truck for stuff they could do in a damn fiesta... So if you wanna be clearly practical about it, WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH A FIESTA!? Fiesta drives back and forth to work, truck does truck things on the weekends.
Everyone go buy a fiesta right now!
I very recently looked at buying a small econo box for my commute, about 70miles a day.
I did the math, taking into consideration 18mpg on 93 vs 35mpg on 87. That's about a $2200 a year savings, then subtract the added insurance and other maint. expenses.
Even if I'm saving $2000 a year after all the expenses, it would take 7-10 years to make up the difference for the price of the car. At that point it's probably time for a new car.
