i challange anyone to have a better beater then mine because i have the ultimate beater! A beautiful 1982 1.3L carburated civic hatchback! I paid $150 for it and it runs great and i get almost 40mpg. it is also fully loaded including no radio, no window rollers(vice grips are used instead,ha), missing lock cylinder on passenger side door, and a broken one on the drivers side, missing hatch lock(yea so every time i hit a bump my hatch flys up a bit and makes a loud bang), no AC, broken hydralic lifters for the hatch, and to top it off includes a 4 speed manual transmission. yea and the only lock that does work on the car with the key is the one on the gas door, so i dont have to worry about anyone stealing my gas! well if anyone has a better beater then mine id like to know about it. but in all seriousness, every day getting in that POS and driving it all day knowing that i have a FD back at my garage that i cant drive right now really is depressing

After 8 years of Daily Driving my FD, I finally bought a Daily Beater: 1991 Integra AT I must admit that I like 20+MPG and the cushy suspension.
I also have a 91 CBR 600 F2

The 240 is a beater, but the mercury a sweet ride.

1993 super awesome stock color green 5sp SL2 Saturn DOHC with neon light under my driver seat (my parents gave it to me for a stocking stuffer, and just felt bad if i didn't use it somewhere). I get about 27-30 mpg, has been really reliable, never had any major problems with it, since our family bought way back in 1994.

Yeah, I have a slushbox white '94 SL-2 bought new in Feb '94. Great daily driver. Reliable transportation and cheap to maintain. 30 mpg on low grade unleaded gas

My DD is a 92 Integra LS with Leather and all power options. I get 29-34mpg.

I am trying to justify having a 2nd 2-seater and get a MKI Mr2 NA (35mpg!). However, RWD 2 seater as a DD and winter car as backup to a...turbocharged RWD 2 seater...doesn't seem to add up
