4dr Sedan turbocharged 185hp 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD
Excellent for such a large and powerful car. I consistently get about 28 mpg in mixed driving, normally with a good share of very congested urban driving in the mix.

4dr Sedan turbocharged 185hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
For a car with this much power, the mileage is great. Even with a roof rack and some heavy feet, it gets 22+ mpg in mixed driving. Very rare for a car with this kind of performance.

4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD
Hard acceleration and high speed passes still return 22-23 mpg. Easy driving, 29-30 mpg. The 250 hp 4 cylinder is very responsive with minimal turbo lag.

The hotter running turbo-charged engine requires mid and / or high test.
