That 25 mpg hwy is actually the same as the sticker in 2005 ,, EPA shows that 2007 and earlier years mileage estimates do not compare directly ,, looks like a calculation change rather than a test change .. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=20966 click on “view original EPA mileage” about mid page.
I bought the car used, mint condition and 5 years old with just over 50,000 miles. The used car sticker on the widow showed 18 mpg and I think that chased people off. I didn’t care and wanted it, the price was far below Blue Book. It was comfortable, looked new and was a true luxury car – my first one. My old car was an 83 Camaro Z28. Great handling, great acceleration but I blew the engine. Not all that comfortable either.
