Keep in mind mine has quite a few ecomods, plus my driving style & environment is about as MPG-friendly as it gets. It rarely goes over 85 km/h.

Most owners on MirageForum are getting in the mid-40's MPG (US). Around 5.2 L/100 km.

I was just looking on kijiji though and people seem to think these are worth $6-10K so maybe not. The MSRP on them was only $10-$12k new!
Yeah, current used prices are a bit nuts.

The BASE poverty-spec ones without AC were $10-12k when new. The loaded ones had stupid MSRP's of $17-20k! (CAD)

Each of the 3 I've owned -- all 2014 model years -- were under $3k with high-ish kms (150-175k km). 2 were the top spec trim, the current one (base poverty model) was $2k. Unfortunately the days of "cheap used cars" appears to be temporarily (?) over.
