| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 225-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It is nowhere as close to 4 cylinders or hybrids, but given it is a V6 with decent power it puts out very good highway mileage. I took it to Vegas and got 30.2 mpg. Average in the city range from 21 to 26, depending how much city driving you have. |
