| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 200-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
With fuel prices rising I am very pleased with how efficient the car is with gas. If I decide to take it easy and not use my lead foot, I can get gas mileage that rivals any non-hybrid car of its size. |
