Nothing, added it to my Element and wife's CRZ.

 

[snarferer]

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 125k on the odo.
Bit of a downsize I must say!

2007 GTI

Miss the Turbo but it was too big for where I live.

Hi

An 05 Toyota Matrix.

[Tweak]

09 (non)Smart car. (But it was actually my mothers car and we happened to be looking for replacement vehicles at the same time, FIAT had a better offer for trade-in than other dealers).

When I finally do this it will be a 1995 BMW 525i.

 

[BatnBella]

2008 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster (convertible) that I had some really great driving experiences in including track days.

Not one single regret for the trade.

2011 Kia Soul, minus the Hamster.

Got rid of my '09 Toyota Prius - which I disliked very much. Coming from a Hybrid car owner the hardest part of owning a Fiat is getting used to the significant decrease in mpgs. My Prius used to get roughly 40 mpg city/hwy and my Fiat is getting 18/20 mpg.

I used to fill up my Prius with gas once to twice a month. My Fiat is almost every week.

...but it's so fun and unconventional. Too many Toyotas in this world anyway.

Do you have the automatic? and are you leaving the parking brake on?

I drive my 500 (manual) like its a raped ape and the lowest I've seen was high 20's.
I did the eco drive thing and it was sooo mad at me! Telling me how I accelerate too rapidly, and brake too hard, and change gear too high in the rev range!

Really, still breaking mine in and I'm getting around 35

The small gas tank makes me feel I fill the tank too often but I certainly get better MPG's than you are reporting. I too wonder if you have an auto or manual and how you are getting so much lower than anyone I have heard of thus far.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that you're not getting that great of mileage. I know that on my Pop manual shifting through the lower gears at lower revs has seemed to really help for me.

I traded an 09 Chevy Aveo. It was a competent car, but uninspiring. I like the Fiat much better.

I'm averaging 40.9 mpg over 4,600 miles so far, mostly highway. If you're only getting 20, it sounds like a problem.

 

[Figoliciouz]

2008 350z Nismo. Fun car but I needed a comfortable daily driver.

That "low" figure is my worst. Overall I'm right around 34. Which is actual mileage based on gas in and miles out. aCar is a fantastic car app available for android btw.

I really really do drive it way too fast. If I am gentle on the car I have no problem getting an indicated 44. (I say indicated because I am not patient enough to drive like that for a whole tank to record actual mileage)

We traded our MINI Cooper S.
