Hi all I've been considering replacing my current car with the IA and am drawn to it by the stylish look and that oh so awesome advertised mpg! I test drove a manual IA back when they first came out but didn't pull the trigger because I felt like it was overpriced for such a small car, that and they didn't have it in the color I wanted so all the IA's on the lot just looked very Bleh to me.
Any way I'm currently an owner of a MT 2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback, and as much as I like the car and the interior space I'd really like to trade up to something that can offer me similar interior space and beat the mpg. During the summer months I could easily get a good 42-44 mpg and now because of winter grade fuel it's been around 36-38.
My commute to work is 10 miles one way. 80% hwy 20% city. Would I beat those numbers in the IA? I'd probably go for a Manual because I love driving manual transmissions plus I'd probably get it for a much better price over the automatic. I rarely drive over 70 mph anyway so I don't think the little 1.5L would be screaming at that speed.
Oh, and how about on the passenger space side of things? Will this car work considering the accent is pretty roomy? I have a 9 year old so her and her friends ride in the back. I seldomly have other adults in the back seat I just don't want anyone to feel cramped.
Any comments on the mpg and interior space?
