| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On window sticker states car should average 17 miles per gallon city, and 25 miles per gallon on highway. over a nine month test which i kept a record of date, total miles on car, miles driven, total gas to refill tank, and miles per gallon the best mileage we got was 14.51 city. the best overall mileage was 17.55 miles and that was a trip to the coast. we took the car to the dealer and he claims that there is nothing wrong with the engine. this is my wife's car and we do not drive it that much because of the price of gas. we were misled by the window sticker and we feel that the nhtsa should make the manufacturer state the correct findings on mileage for this car. i am caught between a hard place and a rock for my wife likes the car and i feel it is a piece of crap. *jb |
