2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Surprising fuel economy for the 2.5 turbo 208 hp engine. Several road trips with consistent 30 mpg at freeway speeds (70-75 mph). Around the city 22 - 25 mpg in mixed stop and go and freeway trips. The trip computer is usually 2 mpg less than actual.
