For a small car, that is pretty terrible.

I get 33mpg in my old ass Scion. 40-45 if I get all hypermile on that ass.

Didn't know Juke is that ugly crossover from Nissan.

The Mini Cooper S is the sporty version of the Cooper it has a turbo engine. LOL for thinking its a gas saver.

Thanks, stormy. I haven't seen one at all here, which is one of the reasons I am interested. I like to have something you don't see a hundred of around town. Unfortunately, that means I may not realize just how small it is.

Not trying to talk you out of it, mind. The car's gotten solid, if maybe slightly confused, reviews.

Basically, I want something sporty but without losing the visibility I have gotten from my Jeep and Land Rover (only two four wheeled vehicles I have owned). When I get rental cars, I hate being that low.

You should get the new Scion. It is HILARIOUS looking.

The car weighs like five pounds and is advertised at 27/35 for the 2011 model (Cooper S Convertible). LOL for not knowing what the fuck you're talking about. 2006 was advertised at 21/29 and I'm doing 95% highway miles. No way should this car be topping out at 23.5 when it's driven relatively conservatively.

Anyway, trading in the FJ -AND- the Mini and getting a Mazda CX-9 instead.

How'd you like the FJ? Don't see many of them.

Loved it. Still do, really. Awesome off-road & in snow. It's getting up there in miles (to the point where if I don't trade it in now, no dealer will want it) and I do a lot of long distance driving for vacations. Some visibility issues and my fuel average was probably 17 MPG over the life of the car. Kinda hurts to trade it in, but the CX-9 is pretty awesome too.

Rumor is 2011 is the last year for FJ's.
