On the highway with the cruise set and never hitting the gas pedal just over 20 and just over 30 respectively....but that never happens as it is really hard to not stomp on the fun pedal. The 2018 is the M... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just filled ours today 37.25 mpg. 417.3 miles 11.2 gal., basically all rural driving, when I put extra miles on it driving around by myself it gets down to 34 or so but I'm pretty heavy on the gas pedal and play around in sport mode.

Wife’s sister has a rav prime plug-in deal they love the thing. They fill the tank up she said probably once every two months. It’s the perfect car in my eyes especially if you have solar panels already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drive 45 to 55 miles 7 days a week so the plugin that gives 37 miles total without regen would be perfect for us and the upfront cost isn't what the longer range ones are, I hope they will offer that type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too refined maybe I got spanked by one last year in the Prelude Thats not saying much but I was impressed the way it sounded and launched . First time I ever saw one actually being driven hard in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they let someone who has no intentions of buying a high powered six figured vehicle take one for a ride?. When I bought my GTO in 05 the stipulation was that i wanted a vehicle with no miles as I didn't want a car that someone else got in and had the potential to beat on. I'll call bullshit on that.

It got 53-55mpg on the highway and 40 in the city. It was arguably one of the best vehicles that I ever owned. It was quiet, rode great, and had a killer Monsoon stereo system.

Gold Member EvilBird Posted March 26, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted March 26, 2023 My buddy use to Work for Carmax. He called me when they were slow one day and I test drove (hammered) a couple Vette's, and a Mitsubishi Evo 10 with no intention of buying . I dont recommend buying from Carmax lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
