    All you complainers:

    I'm not going to say this article was a masterpiece, but it certainly provided some useful information, and for god's sakes, folks, aren't you reading this FOR FREE? Jeez, what a bunch of brats. You get something for nothing and turn around and bitch, bitch, bitch just to show how much smarter you are than everyone else. Shame on your mothers for not teaching you better.

    That said, the gas mileage for this thing is abysmal. My pop's three-year-old Hyundai Elantra gets 40 mpg on the highway and fits four adults and a bunch of other stuff with no trouble at all. And spongy brakes in this day and age? That's just inexcusable. Fortunately, I have the subway at my disposal, so I rarely have to deal with any of these horrible Earth-murdering contraptions.
