 I love this car so much...has so much pep for an economy sedan.  It's extremely fun to drive...has great pickup on the highway and responds to steering input beautifully...manumatic is also fun to drive.  I wasn't so happy with fuel economy, but then I realized that it's about 2/3 the size of my old Camry tank and that was why I wasn't getting as many miles to a tank.  After doing the math, I now get in the mid to high 20s mpg, which I think is decent.
