An XFi would be grand, but they're getting old, and rare as hens teeth. And unless you're a hard core efficiency nut that must have one of the "high performance" models of the fuel economy world, the XFi's savings over any number of other efficient compact cars probably aren't worth the time & trouble.

When you say they arn't worth the time and trouble are you saying because of their age there will be deferred maintenance? Do you think it would be hard finding parts for the car of that age? It seems like as soon as you address the maintenance issues after you buy it and keep up on maintenance the XFI would be a nice car to have. I'm not sure how the age of the car would affect real world MPG though and if it could be corrected.
