I would really hope for a little over 30 around town and 35+ on the motorway.

I reckon that ought to be achievable.

I say 27-34mpg. average those two numbers you get 30.5, so somewhere around there would be very practical

fernan2 · 02-01-2010, 07:51 PM

30-35??? you got to be kidding me, if you want power forget does numbers, my 07 ej25 wrx gives me about 22-24 mpg, and that is just with a K&N filter.

so if you guys want a fast car the word here is sacrifice !

but i have to tell you, nothing sounds better that a ej25 turbo engine with a nice blow off valve! that's just sex!

Why? My ITR DC2 does around that MPG and has a similar output. It is possible and frankly needs to be as it affects running costs. A two litre NA should be capable of doing 30mpg at least!

Agreed. Just because your car sux on fuel mileage doesn't mean this one will.

Who said we wanted a fast car? I want a light car with excellent handling and RWD that seats 4 with a massive trunk like my old Carolla. And it was NOT fast. It was SLOW. 0-60 in about 10 seconds slow. But I still loved driving it. And toyota is constantly pushing this as 'green and fun' so I'm sure the power/fuel economy is going to be pretty good. AKA so much better than Honda's new CR-fail.

The only way your fitting 4 people in the FT is if 2 of them are vertically challenged. The back seats are way to small - and I don't think there is going to be much room in the truck either.

Now the car won't be fast, but it won't be all that slow either. It'll just be a fun car to take out once in a while. And expect around 30+ MPG. Toyota won't do anything less - at least I think they won't do anything less.

BTW - has anyone noticed the bogus MPG claims GM gets with their cars?
I was flipping through a flyer the other day and they said the Pontiac Vibe gets 51MPG highway -- and some larger SUV type thing was getting 42MPG -- I was thinking "How the heck did they do that? the Vibe is a Matrix with a new shell??"
Then you look online and realize the Vibe only get 26 MPG, the same as the Matrix and Impreza i2.5

I love how everything here turns into a Honda bashing thread.

He's bashing the CR-Z.

That car is open game. Its a complete joke and does NOTHING to hark back to the old CR-X, except with its hatch design.

CR-X = capable, light-weight fun car
CR-Z = overweight underpower hybrid

They should really call it the CR-Y., as in "Y is Honda coming out with the piece of a car instead of a new S2K?"

CR-Y = Cry :P
clever but I think you missed that part (maybe not) just for the "Y are you doing this Honda! why why why!!"

Ha! Wow, can't believe I didn't catch that!

I'm so clever that my cleverness is also very clever!

Still a Honda.

I don't care how good or bad the gas mileage is.... I drive at the most 250 miles per week and the gas cost between 23mpg and 27mpg is not going to break the bank.

I would rather the car be fun to drive and get mediocre gas mileage, then the car be boring as sin and get great gas mileage.

This is going to be a sporty car, right?
