I would definitely concede that the engine and transmission are not as ideal for fuel economy as in the EX but to me that is a fair trade off for durability, at least in the case of the transmission.
But like I said before I am not looking for which one could potentially get the best economy per se. I am just wondering is it reasonable to assume that I should be able to meet or exceed the EX's EPA rated 28mpg. Not to mention saving over $1,000 up front would alone shave around 30 dollars off the monthly payment.
I am looking at this as a car that I intend to own for a very long time and as such reliability and long term cost to own are more important factors to me than which one gets outright better fuel efficiency.
