kYLEMtnCRUZr, if you are considering the vehicle, may want to look at the scion tc too. Then the final drive ratio vs tranny ratios. Ive been on the fence about getting a tc with a stick, but looks like the auto does better too.
Lastly take it for a test drive. I frequent 70 mph and in my sidekick thats 4 grand on the engine. My insight its 2300 rpms.
