Detailed review: |
Within a month after i got my car i had to make a road trip from Tacoma, WA to Fairfield,CA on the Pacific Coast HWY. While on the highway the car was very responsive i was cruising at 75-80 with no problem. There was a little lost power over 2500 feet but was able to maintain 60-65 over passes. The car felt a little loose in tight turns on the Oregon coast but did well on California coast.I have the FFV model and using 89 Octane fuel was able to get better than EPA rated 27 hwy. I averaged 34 on hwy and 23 city. Seats are very comfortable was able to drive 5 1/2 hours without a rest stop. This car is a good vehicle for small families car is excellent value, has plenty of room, has easy hook-ups for car seats, and drives like a dream. |
