Never owned one, but I'd say that's accurate. They're super barebones, and powered by a Mazda engine.

Looks like most owners are getting in the high 20's with the 3 speed automatics, and mid to low 30's with manuals. Member "Cowmeat" IIRC was getting high 40's with his with careful hypermiling in Florida. The 5 speed's gear ratios are reasonably tall, and Mazda made a reasonably good engine.
