Consumer Guide also marked it down for being "tight inside" and having a "firm ride". Couldn't recommend. For who... grandma?
The thing is a true sport car that can G the panties off grandma. Hopfully she won't buy one. Firm ride... jeeez.

In all fairness, this is the only car I've owned to not even come close to the sticker estimated MPG.

City and some small amount of highway driving combined, I'm at 17.8 mpg. I think the only time I saw even close to 26 (supposed highway driving) was going 55 mph in 6th gear at less than 2k RPMs. And even then my gauge only showed 22 mpg or something.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care if this thing gets 9 mpg, I'm driving it every day regardless.

can't believe they whined about fuel mileage. i don't think anyone who buys any car out there ever gets even close to the sticker fuel mileage. these numbers are obtained during government-sanctioned tests under extremely ideal conditions impossible to replicate in daily life.
