I think the mileage will equal or better the Fiesta, but that's my guess. Just like driving Numer 3, I don't want to quote mileage because then I have to defend my driving habits and even on the "milage runs" I've made so far, no matter what number I reported it wouldn't be good enough for some. I could say 50 and someone would claim FAIL so I don't want to go there.
A long road trip planned for this weekend, so I should be able to see the comfort level of the car. But so far on my daily commute, it is quiet and comfortable. Ride on the 15" wheels is pretty nice. I'd like to try the 17" wheels for handling. Those that have driven those are reporting a pretty entertaining car. But even with the 15s, hooning is possbile. It will chirp the tires going to 2nd.............ooooops, did I just type that? I do have to properly evaluate the car though.
Must have just been the radio..............what's the name of that new song? Play it all the time now................"Squeal the tires of that Sonic, baby!" or something like that.
One big advantage I think this car has in the segment is rear seat head room. As I've reported, I sit very tall with most of my height in my torso and I have headroom in the back seat.
Trunk is pretty roomy as well.
So it's not as "swoopy" as a Fiesta, but I think it will exceed the Fiesta in roominess, practicality and it should certainly be more entertaining to drive with the HP advantage in both the 1.8 and 1.4T powerplants.
Not sure when GM will post the EPA numbers, but probably pretty soon now that they've released pricing.
