It still gets gets within 2mpg of it on the highway and identical mileage in the city.
It has a 5/100 powertrain warranty.



I would say the money is being spent well. Not bad for $4K.
money well spent. my point was that gm is still putting a fair amount of money into engineering its sports cars, nissan seems to be the only japanese car that actually has sports cars, and then all the others have just abandoned them completely. oh wait, i forgot, toyota is spending a lot of money on engineering high performance cars.... the LFA, which no one can afford.
