Car is new as of 2/16/05, I here a noise as the car shifts into overdrive between 45mph and 50mph sounds like a rattle in the exhaust or catalitic converter, I will have this checked while under warranty, but it does not effect the performance of the car..
Forenza delivers a good all around car for the price. My forenza gets about 17mpg all around, with the automatic transmission, I enjoy using the hold mode which allows the driver to change gears as needed, bad thing about this mode is it uses more fuel. The forenzas engine has plenty of power for passing and play.
You are only getting 17 mpg and you rate performance a "5"?
Sorry, but that does not sound like a very desirable vehicle.
If this car has not been broken in yet, the computer adjusts the engine differently for the break-in period. After the mileage goes passed break-in, the gas mileage will improve and go to normal factory specified level.
