For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. |

Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) |

Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. |
