2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD		 30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. see full Volvo V50 review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Really not that great but part of that is I LOVE to kick in the turbo when getting on the interstate or pulling out from a stop sign. see full Volvo V50 review
2006 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Keeping those five cyclinders fed burns fuel. On the highway, that's not a problem, but in stop and go traffic, MPG numbers go down and down. see full Volvo V50 review

2007 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For such a large & powerful car, fuel economy is quite good. Driving a ~100 mile/day round trip commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I get 24-28 mpg. see full Lexus ES review
Lexus ES Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 With the high price of gasoline, any six-cylinder vehicle can be considered more than necessary for a daily commute. Still, averages of 22.5 MPG are not too bad. see full Lexus ES review
