My Sister just got a 2LT Hatch back Non Turbo with the Auto and
15 inch wheels in bright red not sure if its VR or not.
I have driven it and its peppy for the 1.8 liter !

Yup, that was the Victory Red one. They're still using that color. The Crystal Red replaced my Red Jewel.

Whats the MPG on those?

Can't remember the city, something in the high 20's. The highway is rated at 40. Dealer said one of there past customers claimed to be get 48 on a straight highway trip. We're driving it from San Diego to New Mexico on Friday, so I'll let you know what we get.

Makes a great car to offset the expense of the SS. Gets the same gas mileage as my motorcycle, but more comfortable for long distances and more cargo space. lol

Ok, I figured out something I don't like about her car. It was what is called "Hill Start Assist." it basically holds the brakes on for about a second after you release them so you don't roll backwards. My issue with this is that I actually no how to drive a stick. All it does to me is cause me to stall the engine, because I'm releasing the clutch before the brakes release. I did it 5 times today. Once at a red light and to a$$ hat 2 cars back decided to pound on his gas and drive the car behind us into the back of us. Then they both took of without stopping. Luckily there was no damage, not even a scratch. Had me pretty irate for a good while after. Had it been the Camaro, I would have chased them down and snapped out, mostly for not stopping.
