Hi,

My previous car was a 2005 ZX-5, and my wife drove a 2000 wagon. The engine in the ZX-5 is/was the higher output 16 valve 2.0 jobbie, and the wagon had/has a choice of engines (my wife's was a 16 valve 1.8L). Also, the ZX-5 tires were 16" 205 width 50 series -- they handled great, but were poor at coasting; and worse yet were very sensitive to inflation level.

The aero Cd of the hatchback is 0.36, IIANM -- not great.
