Well, diesel is a lot more expensive then regular gas. But as the gas

[..YouTube..] Emme you do the best reviews! Not only do you know what your talking about, you like sporty cars yet have a practical side. (Hence the laundry baskets) Great sense of humor and a sharp dresser. Keep up the great work. You go girl!

[..YouTube..] Congrats on finishing school. If you found the Titanium for $7K below sticker you’d be crazy not to get it. Yes, the Sync has it’s issues but in my car the transmission performed adequately. I say adequately b/c it wasn’t a manual, but it gets the job done. As to a snug interior, well…that’s your call. I’m a fairly tall gal and I felt fine. BUT…it’s not a good deal unless it makes your heart race. If it cracks your whip then get it, flaws and all. Know what I mean?

[..YouTube..] Hi Emme. 1st, I totally dig your reviews! 2nd, I need some advice. I’ve got a deal on the table for a MAXED out Titanium hatchback for $7K below sticker. Am I nuts if I don’t buy it? My concerns are that the interior feels a little snug, and I’ve read a lot review about transmission and SYNC issues. I know they did some software updates to both. Your thoughts?
FYI: I’m coming from a ’07 2-door Civic. I’m 27 now and looking for more practicality (and a law school grad gift).
THANKS!!!

[..YouTube..] Wish the new cars would have adjustable phone and cup holder, they are either to big or to small.

[..YouTube..] Alright Emme, we need to know. Which is better, this or the Elantra?

[..YouTube..] The Focus is an impressive effort from Ford. When I took it out for a test drive, I liked it’s “haut de gamme” feel & features. But the engine felt kind of low on power, and the price was rather high for a compact. I finaly purchased a Mazda 3 SkyActive, for about 200$/month less.
