Me three. Just saw one still driving on the local roads. Real world MPG was likely closer to 45-50, but not too bad.
Yeah, with a CVT. With a stick, you'll break 70, maybe 80.
That's very likely true. I can't drive a manual transmission. My mom tried to teach me, but I couldn't grok reverse. Then again, all these years later and she doesn't drive a stick anymore. Something like 90% of cars sold are automatic. I took the long view.
That's still pretty darn awesome.
