Haven’t test driven one, so I am not sure if I would like it...heard they can be annoying when the transmission shifts.

Consider the Hyundai Sonata. Just bought a 2011 model and the 39mpg amazed me as well as the comfort and standard amenities. It’s a real fuel sipper.

How much did you pay for yours?

Consider the Hyundai Sonata. Just bought a 2011 model and the 39mpg amazed me as well as the comfort and standard amenities. It’s a real fuel sipper.

The specs for your Sonata are 35mpg highway. I seriously doubt you are getting 39mpg unless you are going downhill the whole way. The blogs I've been reading about the Sonata 2011 version is that they have been averaging about 32-33mpg, which is good. Hyundai is famous for fudging their numbers. The Sonata is very light for a mid-sized car but they have geared it for max mpg. It's also very noisy because they took out a lot of sound proofing to get the weight out. They also only come with 4 Cylinders and they were able to lighten up the Chassis again reducing weight. So kudos to Hyundai but it's very overrated. Plus it's cheap on the inside and ugly as hell on the out. I wouldn't be caught dead driving one. But if you are happy so be it.
