Nice car, though I hear that the automatics have a tough time hitting 40 MPG, while the manuals have been known to get close to 50 MPG.

I would never get an auto in a car that small, but that's just me! I think the automatic trans is the worst car invention ever.

Trifecta has a tune for like 300 that nets like 50-60 hp and torque on a totally stock vehicle.
