 Detailed review:

Have had 2.5i ltd wagon for two months now, just hit 5500 miles. Mostly highway driving. Have averaged 24.8 mpg so far. Hoping it will improve as weather gets warmer. Took a while to get used to extremely low armrest in center. Not going to shell out $150 to buy the extension kit. As I get more miles on vehicle I can see it 'moving out' a little faster. In a way wish I had gotten either the 6 or the turbo, but would have had to spend 3 to 4000 more & I hear they don't get great gas mileage. Just as well I didn't drive the turbo as I probably would have fallen in love with it. Great in the snow!
