Yes, that 3 banger sucked. Some of the guys at the mine had the 45 mpg 4 cylinder which they liked for commuting except the quality of construction wasn't there. I'm just saying there is something to work from. I'm waiting the see what Honda comes out with in a diesel but wish there was competition.
Had to rent a Metro one time. Okay around town, but on the highway it felt like I was screwing a sewing machine.
