40 MPG and Fun to Drive!
 We've had this car close to 30 months now and it has been great.  The smaller engine is offset by the 5-spd manual and decent handling for the price.  Not a single problem yet.  But to top it off the mileage is great! We just completed a round trip between San Jose, CA to Vancouver, WA and put over 1500 miles on the car. I tracked the mileage very close and we got 40.2 mpg for the whole trip!  Now I need to say we don't speed but drive the posted speed limit (55, 65, 70). We used A/C for a 85% and this total included climbing hill, mountains and around town drives.  So obey the posted limits, set the cruise control and enjoy the money you save!
