I was trying to be unbiased.

I am sure the CVT is fine. Everybody wants acceleration, but when do they ever use it? I am confident this would keep up with everyday driving.

I would like to try the five-speed, but what if I like it?!

I looked up Mirage owners in the garage and 3rdPlane claims 68.74 MPG, Daox gets 60.65, FifteenWindow reports 53.13, MosesVP logged 49.28, and ForeRunner says he averages 46.49. All of them have 2014s except for MosesVP.

I want to know what kind of driving averages 55.66 MPG, that is 7.7% less than I got driving slower than I could ever sustain.
