 I researched and negotiated a great deal over the internet with a local dealer.Got the color and interior that I wanted in the SEL (Opera Red with Black interior).Took over a month to get from the factory but has been well worth the wait. So far I have 2700 miles and have only filled (16 gal) the tank 3 times (first one on the dealer!). Great driving and handling.I have a 90 mile per day commute in busy highway with a reasonable amount of slow down and speed up type driving.So far - averaging 46 mpg in my 3 fill ups. It is really FUN to drive! Better than any Hybrid I test drove.
