By the earlier epa stats that I've been using, they got 28 highway. They have independent front suspension and are low compared to a samurai, like a subaru. Only made them for 2 years, so parts finding would be hard. Samurai's have awesome aftermarket support like vw bugs or something another very important factor to me whenever I consider buying an older car. What use is them being nice and simple to work on, if you can't get dang parts?
