Skip the V6 in favor of the 4-cylinder for similar performance but better MPG
Detailed review:
I purchased the 4-cylinder EX after test driving all of the competition. The sport-shift transmission was the selling point as was the unexpected level of equipment and amenities for this price point.
There is a niggling bug in the passenger air bag sensor but otherwise the car has been flawless.
After 5K miles I'm averaging just over 24 MPG combined. I had the dealer switch out the chrome grille for the black version from the LX and now it looks like an Infinity G24 from the front (LOL).
See February Car & Driver for a similar viewpoint.
