Replying to: nav7090 (Jan 18, 2009 9:33 pm) Joining for first time   I bought for 9200 also. That was in 07. I actually saw in the paper when the Eco was it's worst, a local dealer selling new for 7000.  I have a 5 speed, and like it alot. Notice I didn't say love it? The gas mileage is great? Abt 32 or a little better under 55 mph. On the highway, not so good. 65-70 abt 25 or little better.   The plus: Great gas mileage                  Flop down rear seats(you can fit a lot of stuff in through the trunk                  Quick and responsive little motor (1.6)                  Can carry 4 fine, 5 if you have to, but it can be done.                     The minus: This car should not, and I repeat NOT be driven on the Highway                    in the winter. NO,NO,NO. Do not.                    The chassis is a poor design in relation to the front drive wheel.                    The chassis is stiff, (the short length of car) and cannot respond                    to the powerfull front wheel torque, and that makes the tire                    want to spin in response to the engine.                    At highway speeds this is a disaster waiting to come about.                    The first sign of no traction (ICE) and you have the spinning                    event of your life.                    Big, and not so big trucks when they pass have a tendency to want                    to draw your vehicle into them. (talk about white knuckles-oh yeah!)   Thank you for your listen. It is overall still a good little car.

Replying to: norm116 (Sep 14, 2009 3:53 pm) Have you had any luck with your fuel mileage increasing? I know it can be a real hard problem to find. Thought if it was still poor maybe I could share some ideas
