First post on here (I think). I just picked up a new 2011 a month ago and have put about 3,600 mile on so far. My calculated mpg thus far is 42.21 mpg since I bought it. I've had three tanks at 45 point something mpg using an ultra gauge, and just using basic hypermiling techniques. No P&g yet, I only FAS at long red lights.

So, what do I think? It is a good little car that should have been built with an overdrive. It works for me because I drive 90% rural highways with very little freeway driving and very little city driving. Both ends seem to kill the mileage. I really am happy with it though, I have owned very few cars which I have liked as much.

Overall the build quality seems to be pretty darn good. Ask me again in a year when I have 35,000-40,000 miles on it.
