They are econobox appliance cars. But in LA back in May I got 41 mpg driving one like I stole it in mixed freeway and local driving. The handling is weak, the car is noisy, the steering numb and the seats are among the worst out there, but buying only 4 gallons of gas after driving 160-odd miles wasn't bad.
As a commuting beater I think they're OK. I wouldn't want to do a trip in one, if I had one I'd swap the seats out for some Sparcos or Recaros, but as an appliance they are alright. They aren't meant to compete with a Saab.
I'd like to try the Altima or Fusion hybrid. Supposedly the 2010 Prius is much improved, but I haven't driven one. But right, a diesel in a better all around car seems better.
