looking ar 05 Satrun Ion 5spd - opinions?

I wanted a volkswagen or honda, but this kinda jumped out at me. consumers review rated it at 29 city and 43 highway, looks like the front needs some work and will improve a bit

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my '04. With no mods, I'm averaging 36.68 on mine, and that's with a nightly climb to 4,675 feet. My most recent road trip (including a trip over the Grapevine) averaged about 40.75. Check out Saturnfans.com for the most common flaws (backup switch, about $28 and 20 minutes labor, power steering motor can overheat if your tires are very low, some bushing noise, leaky sunroof.) In my case, the price was right (bought it for about $10,500 new with incentives and employee discount.)
