What car for a car service?
I am seriously debating starting my own car service (mostly because I would love a near full time driver).
So my question for Idea Offer, is if you were starting a car service, what car would you get as your first car?
This would primarily be used for airport runs and nights on the town.
I've also heard good things from a lot of people about the Ford Focus.
Personally, I like the Saturn 4 door 2008, although it is a little cramped in the back seat, it only carries about 15 gallon tank of fuel, but it's a nice light-weight car and it really saves on fuel. I can drive 60 miles down a flat road and back on 6 gallons.
If your moving at 45 mph I've noticed I can cut the gas expenditure down to 5 gallons per 100 miles. But you really need to keep the car in tip-top condition for that. Umm driving it up really steep hills is a small problem. I thought I would mention that. I've driven it up the longest and steepest road in the country, pushing the petal down to the floor we slowed down to 65 mph on that climb. That was the only time I was disappointed at it's performance, all the other vehicles were whizzing by me at 125-145 mph.
If it's a budget service Ford Mondeo -or equivalent in your country.
Cheers!
You want your passengers to ride in comfort and style plus its easy on the gas being a crossover vs. a suv. more profit for you.
