I have one (but i have the GS version that kills baby seals). The 22/29 figure you quoted is for the automatic, the stick gets 25/34 according to EPA. (I managed to beat 34 in the summer with my GS tho)

I think it's bottom has a lot to do with it's "poor" Cd, while the top looks crafted in heaven by angels, the underside was clearly designed by Freddy Kruger. Despite that, CdA is still not that bad, somewhere between an early and a late model Prius)

Low top gear and hefty weight hurt tho.
