 I bought this car used in 2010.I replaced a bmw 535.I was impressed how the car is built.It is pretty bullet proof.It is much quieter than a Honda and rides as nice as a Toyota model.My commute takes me 130 miles over two mountain passes in Washington.I carry between 2 and 4 adults.I average 28.5 mpg.Another carpooler gets 31 with his 6 cylinder Camry.So, that disappoints.The other issue is that the weight limit on this car is about 835 lbs.4 adult men add up to that and if you add any luggage, you are around 1000 lbs.I mention this because during one drive on an icy I-90, flat road, I could barely hold the car to the road, semi trucks passed me.
