I don't have rattles in my Honda. I wanted to eliminate road noise while maintaining as much MPG as possible.

I picked the VX because it was on the Governments website for one of the best fuel efficient economy cars. I haven't been able to achieve anywhere over 40 MPG. So, I'm taking the steps to replace components that may have an impact on the MPG.

I'd say it's a little too late to switch out cars. I've already invested a lot into it and I really have no way to get my money back to switch cars. It would be a huge waste at this point.
