 It's quick when you need it, it looks like a sharp euro car, especially in White.  I've driven 85k in the 2 years I've had it, not one problem except new tires, no surprise.  When I use Mobil 1 5-20 and drive 55, I get 40 mpg!  Can you show me another non-hybrid car at this price that performs like that?   at under $14k, the 07 is perfect for anyone on a lower budget.  The 2.3 engine is faster and offers more color choices, but you'll lose 5 mpg.  The 2.0 is fast enough unless you have ego issues.
