Dodge Dart? 40mpgs and fun to drivelarge back seat and trunk too!
Thanks, all very good suggestions! Some I have on my list and a few I had not thought of, nor did I realize how good of highway mpg that they get like the optima or sonata in a bigger car!
I would really love the TDI but they are just way too expensive right now over the Cruze Eco.
Right now the Cruze Eco is my front runner.
As just previously mentioned. I am going to be driving about 1500 miles and using the TA, so I'm interested in how good of gas mileage I can get with it.
best thing you could do is clean the maf and toss in new/newer upstream o2's
so for around 150$ you can eek out ~2-5% better fuel econ depending on how skewed the old nb sensors were
if you need to you can borrow my 68....it gets 9mpg with a tailwind....roll that up in your gas card and smoke it

I got about 27mpg mixed city/highway in an '12 Optima SX. I think 35 was the best I got on straight highway. Its a pretty solid all around car for what it is. Stock stereo was sufficient for my old family-man ass, but the navigation was kinda basic, lacked some features that my 07 Acura TSX had that made navigating on the fly easier. bang for the buck though its hard to beat, heated cooled seats, back-up camera, 274hp, good mpg, huge truck, spacious back seat, etc, and we paid about $28k for ours fully loaded.
Do you know how hard it is to get a stroller in and out of the trunk?
My daughter's carseat (rearfacing) requires the passenger front seat to be all the way forward to fit....
<---- Not too happy but
Cruze Eco isn't a bad choice. Don't expect to have any spirited driving enjoyment from those low-rolling resistance tires. Reported reliability of the first few model years was abysmal, and it seems Chevrolet has now reached average levels of reliability with the Cruze. It's a great long-distance driver with ride quality more similar to a larger car. Nothing changed from 2013 to 2014 so wait it out until the 2013 inventory starts to thin and get a deal when dealers want to unload.

we have fit a full size stroller (one that a rear facing seat clips into) with no problem in the trunk - also, im 5'10'' and drive with the seat in a very comfortable position (far back and leaned back) and my 2 year olds forwards facing seat has plenty of room behind me and my nieces rear facing seat was snug... but I could have moved the seat up an inch or two and still been comfortable - I can actually fit behind the drivers seat with a decent amount of room!
Smokinhot
3-man rules!!!!
6-foot fat and I fit comfy in the front seat.... Does the rear facing seat have a base? The stroller we have is the jeep stroller.... Lol
