| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD |
25-30 mpg is DOUBLE what my previous Jeep was getting. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
30 plus mpg h/w at 65-70 mph for hours on end. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. |
