Last week Sylvia and I were at ShotShow 2012 in Vegas... we decided to rent a car so we could drive to hoover dam and the grand canyon. my toyota tercel was "upgraded" to the dodge avenger because the tercel passenger seat was soaked with water (i hope it was just water).
We got 30mpg on the highway (80mph for 4 hours at a time)... it was comfortable, except the drivers seat most upright position was still a gangsta lean. the trunk had a ton of space and the back seat was comfortable too.
everything was great on the car... except the motor. what a slow turd of a motor. there are several metered entry ramps around vegas and you fear for your life merging from a stop in this car.
next year, depending on how many people come (i'm looking at you rex)... i might shoot for the CTS-V
