[quote ztirffritz]I seriously doubt that you get better than 50 MPG from a Corolla unless you travel perpetually downhill with a tailwind. The Smart cars get between 50-60 mpg with gas engines. 80-85 with diesel engines
[quote Mr. Ed][quote ztirffritz][quote Dakota]A lot of small cars these days can match its mpg and certainly surpass it in features.
True. Which are there:
Yaris
Fit

I get better gas mileage with my '04 Corolla (stick shift).
I'm seeing the Smart Car listed at 33 mpg in city and 41 on highway. I get real life 38 mpg in my small community and 48 mpg on the highway. I use 87 octane gas. I've got lots of room. I paid $14,000+ new.
