I had a v6 one that I sold 3 years ago.

I didnt do a lot of highway with it, once i did 30mpg going 70-75mph on a really hilly (that's a mountain only highway) with A/C on cruise control. The engine was reving too high on highway, almost 4000rpm at 70mph. In town I would do around 20-22mpg with a stick-shift.

Beside FE I really miss this car, it had a sooo great handling and crosswinds never really affected this car.

These cars had a massive blind spot, actually a complete motorcycle could fit in the blind spot so you've got to be aware of them when drinving that car.
