2015-02-28T23:30:00.000-08:00

Your Guide To Buying A Used Car For Sale - Today, more and more people are thinking wisely especially when it comes to buying the things that they need. Since there are a lot of good options available, the last factor that many people consider when deciding which ones to buy is the price. The price of a certain product should not be made the first thing to consider but the last. This goes the same when choosing to buy a used car for sale. You should not always go with the price fist. You have to check for quality and durability. And when you are still left with a number of choices, make the price the deciding factor.

Getting Cheaper Automobiles At Dealer Auctions

2015-02-27T23:30:00.000-08:00

Getting Cheaper Automobiles At Dealer Auctions - Many people wait for the opportunity to be inside dealer auctions in order to buy the car that fits their budget. It is a prudent decision to evade the middlemen and avoid buying pre-loved cars with high mark up by people who want to make easy money by selling cars. Well, this is not bad at all. But for those who have just enough money, they should make a way to find deals that can save you money such as joining car auctions.

Sometimes, your life gets too complicated if you stay with the commute and you can achieve more flexibility when you buy your own car. A few companies that engage in wholesale car distribution may get in touch with businesses that do auctions of used cars. This is not a reason to back down from finding your own cheap car. It is possible to find a car that's a couple of thousand cheaper than what you'd expect it to cost, so be persistent in looking for the right car auction event in your area.

Public auctions are conducted with notice to the public several weeks before it happens. This can give you idea on where to go and register yourself in order to bid for a car of your choice. These companies usually have websites that feature available units for auction. In addition, you can also do you own search for a certain type, transmission, fuel and model of an automobile with the budget you have. Thus, it would be easy to find a car that will only cost $5,000. The dealer can be reached via your inquiry and they will definitely get back to you with good offers or maybe even more low-cost than what you have inquired for.

It is an event that will be known to many people, so you don't have to worry about being uninformed. Also, you may contact the company's website to inquire about their coming dealer auctions.

Before setting on your way to the auction, you must know how much you are able to afford. You have to give allowance for other fees to pay when you are buying from an auction because there would be registration, insurance and taxes to take care of. Being a car owner is huge responsibility and every time you use a car, you will be spending money mainly for fuel and other maintenance jobs.

Inspect the car if it's in good condition. There's no use buying a car that you cannot drive because it breaks down several meters away from your house. If you do not know how to check a car's condition, take along someone who does. Be wary of hidden defect like chipped paint or a repainted area since this can mean that the automobile has been from an accident and was just repaired. You will suffer if you buy a lemon and though cheap, you have wasted money and will incur additional expenses for repairs so that it will be back in running condition.

Make sure that you stick to the chosen budget to steer clear of future money issues.

2015 Subaru Outback SUV and Closest Competitors

2015-01-14T08:13:00.002-08:00

The Outback is the off-road-worthy wagon version of Subaru's Legacy sedan. This new fifth generation of the Outback impresses with not just an abundance of utility, but a newfound level of class within the spacious cabin. It's a cold-weather climate favorite with virtually no true competition at its price point. And, unlike crossover SUVs, the Outback drives exactly like what it is: a station wagon.
2015 Subaru Outback SUV and Closest Competitors

What Are Its Closest Competitors?
With its roomy passenger and cargo space, mountain goat off-road ability and reasonable price, there are few direct competitors for the Outback.

The Honda CR-V stands as a good crossover SUV alternative to the Outback at a similar price with just slightly less interior room, but it isn't as capable off-road.

Similar situation with the Toyota RAV4: It's a fairly rugged SUV with solid performance, but as with the CR-V, it just can't dig through the dirt or snow like the Outback.

The Volvo XC70 is similar to the Outback in that it rides on a raised suspension for light off-roading and has a similar footprint. It gives the option of a 300-hp turbocharged engine, yet even the lower-horsepower front-wheel-drive base XC70 costs more than the top-of-the-line Outback 3.6R Limited.

The Audi Allroad, like the Volvo XC70 and Subaru Outback, has a taller ride height and looks the off-road part. But not only does it offer significantly less passenger and cargo space than the Subaru, it costs thousands more.

Why Should You Consider This Car?
This is the go-anywhere, do-anything wagon for those who aren't sold on the idea of high-riding SUVs. It's comfortable, quiet, gets competitive fuel mileage, handles well on pavement and can scurry along dirt roads with pretty much anything this side of a Jeep or Land Rover.

Why Should You Think Twice About This Car?
Although the CVT has been improved to act more like a traditional automatic transmission, the four-cylinder/CVT combo might prove too wimpy for some. The six-cylinder offers enthusiast-acceptable oomph, but fuel economy is far from stellar.

The top 10 factors which affect car insurance prices

2015-01-14T07:41:00.002-08:00

It’s a good idea to know the factors which are used by insurers to set policy costs. That way you can ensure your own cost of car cover is as low as it can be.

Ultimately, the amount charged by an insurance company in motor premiums is a reflection of how likely a driver is to make a claim. And how expensive that claim is likely to be.

Bear in mind: Different insurers treat these factors in different ways. So it’s a good idea to shop around and get car insurance quotes from a wide range of providers. The top 10 factors which affect car insurance prices

1. Your age
Unless you’ve made claims or have points on your licence, an insurer can’t tell whether you’re a cautious or reckless driver. So it uses statistical data from previous customers to calculate what kind of risk you might pose.

Age is a significant factor. Statistics show that young drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents and make claims than other age groups.

Those aged between 17 and 25 generally face the highest premiums. You can’t change your age, but younger drivers can take steps to keep their car insurance costs under control.

2. Your occupation
What you do for a living can also have an impact on the cost of your premiums. Insurers’ figures may show that certain jobs carry with them a greater risk of claims.

3. The car you drive
The vehicle you’re insuring has a large bearing on your insurance premiums, as you’d expect.

Value: The more expensive your car, the more it’d cost to replace if stolen or written off in an accident. So the higher the premiums.

Pricier vehicles may also cost more to repair, particularly if they’re rare, and have expensive spare parts. But don’t assume that just because your own car isn’t worth much, it will be cheap to cover… Insurance isn’t just for damage to your own vehicle; it also protects other road users against accidents you might cause.

Power: The faster and more powerful your car is, the more likely it is to be involved in accidents. And more costly those accidents are likely to be. So vehicles with larger engines cost more to insure.

If you modify your car to make it more powerful, you should inform your insurer. It’ll probably increase your premiums. But if you don’t tell them, your cover could be rendered invalid if you come to make a claim.

Desirability: If you own a particularly desirable car, your insurer may consider you at greater risk of theft. Improving your vehicle’s security can help offset this.

4. Where you live
Your postcode also has a bearing on the cost of car insurance. If you live in a built-up area where the risk of accidents is greater, you’ll pay more. The same applies if you live somewhere with high levels of vehicle crime.

5. How you use your car
If you use your vehicle for commuting, you’re likely to pay more for cover, as you’ll be driving more when the roads are busy. Your annual mileage also has a bearing. After all, the more you drive, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident.

6. Your driving record and no-claims bonus
Have you made any claims? Do you have any endorsements on your licence? These are significant factors in calculating the cost of car insurance. When applying for insurance, you’ll be asked for details of any claims in the past five years. Even if you weren’t at fault, the claim will still probably push up your premiums to some extent.

If you haven’t made any claims for a year or more, you should have some form of no-claims bonus (NCB). Most insurers will accept up to five years of NCB, which can result in discounts.

7. Your excess
The higher the voluntary excess you agree to, the less your insurance will cost. This is because you’re shouldering a greater proportion of the risk. Any potential payouts from your insurer are reduced, and low-value claims will be uneconomical for you.

Conversely, if you choose no voluntary excess, an insurer will have to pay the full amount (minus compulsory excess) in the event of a claim. Therefore your premium will be higher.

8. The type of cover you buy
Comprehensive insurance is normally more expensive than third-party only or third-party, fire and theft. This is because your insurer will potentially have to pay out in a greater range of circumstances.

9. Who’s insured to drive your car
The named drivers on your insurance policy can cause premiums to rise and fall. If you’re an experienced driver, adding a young driver to your policy – such as your son who’s just passed his test – can cause the cost to rocket. Conversely, if a young main driver adds a more experienced relative to their policy, it can reduce the costs.

10. Car insurance is no longer priced on your gender
Statistics show that women are less likely to be in a serious accident than men, and that the claims they make are less expensive. This has long been reflected in lower premiums for female drivers in general. This ban on gender pricing came into effect on 21 December 2012. This caused insurance premiums to rise chiefly among younger women.

However, the European Court of Justice has issued a ban on using sex as a factor in setting premiums. This came into effect on 21 December 2012, and caused car insurance to rise chiefly among younger women.

Full Review and Performance BMW ActiveHybrid 7

2015-01-12T11:22:00.002-08:00

There are a couple of different ways to think about the long-wheelbase 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 luxury sedan. The first is that it's not a very logical choice for a luxury sedan due to the price premium it commands over a comparably equipped non-hybrid 740Li. The less expensive car sprints to 60 in an estimated 5.6 seconds -- same as the hybrid -- and its overall fuel economy is just 2 mpg behind. With such a modest margin at the pump, the ActiveHybrid 7 would need years to earn you back the extra thousands you spent up front.

But perhaps you're less concerned with expenses than with the way your car makes you feel. As a hybrid driver, you're affirming that eco-consciousness is a personal priority, even if the numbers don't show a significant improvement in efficiency. We suspect that this perspective is behind the bulk of ActiveHybrid 7 sales. If you're looking at full-size luxury sedans, you know you're not going to get Prius-like fuel economy -- but every mpg counts.

For shoppers who identify with this second school of thought, here are a few alternatives to consider. The ActiveHybrid 7's new diesel-powered sibling, the slightly more affordable 2015 BMW 740Ld xDrive, comes with standard all-wheel drive and yields 26 mpg combined, along with an adequate 6.1-second sprint to 60 mph. The plug-in 2015 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is considerably pricier, but you get quite a bit in return, including superior handling, a 416-hp power plant and an electric-only range of 15 miles. If you want to maximize your battery-powered motoring, there's no substitute for the purely electric Tesla Model S. Intrigued by the diesel 7 Series? Check out the 2015 Audi A8 TDI, too; it's a smidge slower than the 740Ld xDrive but returns an remarkable 28 mpg combined.

Judged on its own merits, the 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is a thoroughly satisfying luxury car that anyone would be proud to own. But given the availability of such appealing alternatives, we recommend looking elsewhere if you want to burnish your green credentials.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is offered in a single trim level. Standard equipment includes 18-inch wheels, adaptive suspension dampers, a self-leveling rear air suspension, adaptive xenon headlights, LED foglights, automatic wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, four-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated power front seats, front seat memory settings and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.

Technology highlights include front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and ignition, a digital instrument panel, a rearview camera, BMW's iDrive infotainment system, a navigation system, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and a 12-speaker audio system with HD and satellite radio and a USB/iPod interface.

Several options packages are available. The Cold Weather package adds heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. The Executive package includes a power trunk lid, power-closing doors, a head-up display, 14-way power "multicontour" front seats with ventilation and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system. The Lighting package adds LED headlights with automatic high beam control, while the M Sport package features 19-inch wheels, dark "shadowline" exterior trim, an aerodynamic body kit, a higher top speed and a sport steering wheel with paddle shifters.

The Driver Assistance Plus package adds a blind-spot warning system, a lane-departure warning system, a drowsiness monitor, side- and top-view cameras and a speed-limit display. For rear-seat passengers, there's the Luxury Rear Seating package (power-adjustable rear seats with ventilation and massage) and the Rear Entertainment package (two rear monitors, a rear iDrive controller and a six-DVD changer).

Stand-alone options include 19-inch wheels, an automatic parking system, adaptive cruise control (bundled with lane-departure warning and a forward collision mitigation system that provides automatic emergency braking), a night-vision camera with pedestrian detection and a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround-sound audio system. Additional interior upgrades include active front seats, a wood-trimmed steering wheel, power rear sunshades, ceramic-trimmed controls and extended leather surfaces.

Powertrains and Performance

The 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine that's paired with an electric motor backed by a lithium-ion battery pack. Combined output is 350 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard and sends power to the rear wheels.

BMW estimates that the ActiveHybrid 7 will accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 25 mpg combined (22 city/30 highway).
Safety

The 2015 ActiveHybrid 7 comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, front knee airbags and active front head restraints. Also standard is the BMW Assist emergency communications system, which includes automatic crash notification, an emergency-response button, remote door unlock and stolen-vehicle recovery.

The optional Driver Assistance Plus package adds multiple parking cameras, a blind-spot warning system, a lane-departure warning system and a drowsiness monitor. The optional adaptive cruise control feature includes a collision mitigation system with automatic emergency braking.

Interior Design and Special Features

The 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 employs a conservative, driver-centric interior design that dates back to the current 7 Series' 2009 debut. That's not to say its technology is behind the times; on the contrary, the ActiveHybrid 7 is loaded to the hilt with nifty features, including a sharp digital instrument panel and a beautiful widescreen iDrive display with hybrid-specific functions. Updates over the years have kept this cabin fresh, among them a touchpad function for the iDrive controller and an optional concert-quality Bang & Olufsen audio system. The main downside is the lack of differentiation between the ActiveHybrid 7 and the ostensibly less prestigious ActiveHybrid 5, which mostly shares its larger sibling's layout.

In any case, the ActiveHybrid 7's interior is an exceptionally pleasant place to spend time. Supple leather upholstery, gleaming wood accents and other top-quality materials create an appropriately upscale ambience, while long-haul comfort is exemplary, particularly with the optional multicontour front seats and the Luxury Rear Seating package's power rear seats. Thanks to the ActiveHybrid 7's mandatory long-wheelbase configuration, the rear compartment offers truly luxurious legroom. The car's complex hybrid hardware compromises cargo capacity, however, with trunk space checking in at a relatively humble 12.7 cubic feet.

Driving Impressions

Although the 2015 ActiveHybrid 7 has considerably more power and torque than the 740Li, it also weighs more, so its acceleration ends up being about the same. But unlike conventional 7 Series models, the ActiveHybrid can glide silently on electric power alone. The catch is that you're limited to 2.5 miles and a maximum speed of 37 mph -- and since no selectable "EV mode" is provided, you have to be very gentle with the gas pedal to prevent the engine from cutting in. In normal driving, the hybrid system is most noticeable when you need a sudden burst to pass or merge, providing a wallop of instant-on electric torque that the 740Li can't match.

In other respects, the ActiveHybrid 7 is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the 7 Series lineup, which means it's one of the best-driving luxury sedans in the world. Certain rivals may outdo it in specific areas, but when it comes to all-around performance and comfort, the 7 is still a force despite being one of the oldest models in its segment. If there's a weak point here, it's that the big BMW is no longer the handling champion, having been eclipsed by sport-biased competitors like the Panamera. Nonetheless, only the most demanding pilots will be disappointed by the ActiveHybrid 7's sophisticated driving dynamics.

5 Tips for Maintaining a Perfect Car Interior - Interior car maintenance should never be neglected. Spotless upholstery can make any journey, whether it's around the corner or across the country, a much more pleasurable experience for you and your passengers. An automobile with seats that appear to be held together with duct tape or are covered in garbage will have the opposite effect. However, some damage to an automobile's inside, the kind that's more serious than stains or clutter, may not be the driver's fault. In the event of an accident, quality auto body shops are equipped to fix both the interior and exterior of a car. But to avoid doing any cosmetic harm to your vehicle, here are some tips:

1. Keep Food and Drinks On The Table

Regardless of how well a drink sits in a cup holder, it still has the potential to spill. A nasty enough bounce over a pothole could do the trick. As popular as drive-through fast food is throughout the nation, ketchup and mustard can leave brutal stains on your car interior. The only surefire way to avoid lunch becoming an unsightly addition is to forego eating and drinking on the go altogether.

2. Bring a Trash Bag

Often, piles of garbage will pile up in an automobile and its owner may not have the time or the patience to clean it all out. This all-too common situation can be avoided if there's already a place to put trash. Putting any waste in one convenient receptacle will also preserve an interior's appearance, to a certain degree. A full bag of trash might not be the prettiest sight in the world, but it beats an arbitrarily arranged pile of junk.

3. Keep Cleaning Materials in the Glove Box

Plenty of products are custom made to remove stains from automobile interiors. Why not keep something on hand so spills can be stopped before becoming permanent eyesores? CNN even recommends keeping toothpaste in the glove compartment. Of course, that's also handy if you happen to need to freshen up at some unexpected point during your travels.

4. Don't Smoke Inside The Car

It's a well-established fact that smoking can lead to serious damage to anyone's health. But a car filled with cigarette smoke can cause a yellow or brownish veneer to develop on upholstery. For that matter, a dropped cigarette can leave burn marks on carpets or sears or even cause an accident in a worst-case scenario. Refusing to smoke inside a car will not only prevent these problems but it could even help a smoker cut down and may even eventually break the habit.

5. Keep Kids Accountable

CNN also points out that youngsters aren't always the greatest at picking up after themselves. For moms and dads who spend lots of time driving, the news source recommends a "Bring It In, Take It Out" policy. That way, families can guarantee that backpacks, lunch boxes or whatever other accoutrements wee ones carry won't turn into car clutter.

Lexus GS F blasts performance in with 467bhp

2015-01-12T02:58:00.002-08:00

The Lexus GS F will rival the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG when it goes on sale in Europe late in 2015.

The 467bhp super saloon will be shown at the Detroit Motor Show next week, and will become the fastest version of the Lexus GS saloon yet.

Although no performance details have been revealed, it's likely the GS F will provide a 0-62mph time of around 4.5 seconds and a top speed of more than 170mph.

The Lexus promises the “speed and agility of a premium sports car” with a rear-wheel drive layout and a grip and stability-enhancing torque vectoring system. This can operate in three modes, including Slalom for ultimate agility and Track, which is designed to increase stability at high speed.

The 5.0-litre V8 doesn’t use a turbo or supercharger (like the BMW M5 or Mercedes E63 AMG) and channels power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which features a manual shift function.

Lexus has strengthened the chassis and the GS F uses a suspension system developed specifically for this performance version. Lexus says the GS F will be a “very balanced saloon with a genuine dual personality, equally adept at trimming lap times as it is making the commute back home”.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat First Test

2015-01-12T02:05:00.002-08:00

Seven-oh-seven horsepower. In a full-size American sedan. Let that sink in. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful production sedan ever built. And with a claimed 204-mph top speed, Chrysler says it's also the fastest production sedan ever. The fact that the Charger has four doors makes it even more ludicrous than its two-door Challenger counterpart, which we loved dearly in our First Test and a comparison against the supercharged 580-hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. (The supercharged 662-hp Ford Shelby GT500 has been discontinued.)

Like the Challenger SRT Hellcat, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat's astonishing 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque come from a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 mated strictly to an ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. (A six-speed manual is available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat.) The Charger SRT Hellcat rides on 20-by-9.5-inch forged wheels wrapped in 275/40R20 Pirelli P Zero tires on all four corners. If those tires sound narrow for 707 hp, you would be correct. To put that into context, a 275/40R17 was the optional tire size (a 245/50R16 was standard) on the 305-hp 1999-2002 Camaro Z28 and was the standard tire size on the 325-hp Camaro SS and the 390-hp 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT. The 2015 Charger Hellcat makes roughly the same amount of power as those two ponycars combined.

Despite its 4,562-pound curb weight, those tires hindered the Charger Hellcat's performance at the dragstrip. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat reached 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 124.3 mph. The 113-pound-lighter two-door 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat matched the Charger to 60 mph and finished the quarter mile one-tenth quicker and 1.1 mph faster.

Dodge claims the Charger Hellcat can run the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds flat. Although that might be possible on a specially prepped dragstrip, our testing is done on a street-style surface. For comparison, several 488-550-hp Jaguar F-Type V8 S roadsters and Coupe R models we've tested hit 60 mph in 3.4-3.9 seconds and ran the quarter mile in 11.6-12.1 seconds at speeds of 120.2-122.3 mph. The Hellcat's 4,562-pound curb weight, compared to 3,873-3,965 pounds for the F-Type models, and its relatively narrow tires (the Jaguar has wider 295/35R20 tires) keep the Hellcat from reaching its true potential.

In fact, the Hellcats' (Charger and Challenger) trap speed is closer to the all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R. With 545-600 hp, the last three Nissan GT-R models we tested (Black Edition, Track Pack, Nismo) hit 60 mph in 2.7-2.9 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 11.0-11.1 seconds at 124.8-125.3 mph. The 3,880-3,887-pound GT-R models benefit greatly from the added grip of all-wheel drive (and short transmission gearing), indicating that the Hellcat's tires hamper its acceleration numbers. Although the supercharged V-8 Jaguar models claw for traction at speed, the Hellcat takes that experience to a whole new level. Stomping the right pedal at a 60-mph roll can easily produce black stripes and smoke as the Hellcat fishtails into ludicrous speeds even with traction control set at its most oppressive setting. At full throttle, the tires chirp on each upshift regardless of transmission setting.

Although the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat might be the most powerful production sedan available, the twin-motor (691 hp, 687 lb-ft combined output) 2015 Tesla Model S P85D is the quickest sedan we tested, reaching 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and finishing the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds at 115.2 mph -- 0.2 seconds quicker but 9.1 mph slower than the Hellcat. The Hellcat also has the advantage on the top end: The P85D tops out at "just" 155 mph. The 560-hp, all-wheel-drive Audi RS7 reaches 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and matches the P85D's quarter-mile time but has a higher 120.4-mph trap speed.

The Charger Hellcat also puts down impressive handling stats, outperforming its lighter two-door sibling. Although both the Charger and Challenger Hellcat pulled 0.94g average around the skidpad, the Charger was slightly quicker around the figure eight, posting a 24.5-second lap at 0.91g average versus the Challenger's 24.7-second lap and 0.85g average. Ride quality is also comfortable on the streets. The Charger stopped from 60 mph in 104 feet -- 5 feet shorter than the Challenger. Those are impressive numbers for a full-size sedan.

Despite its hood scoop and pair of heat extractor vents, our Charger Hellcat tester was relatively incognito on the streets. Drivers of other performance cars seemed to be the most aware that our tester was special, though it still took a few incidents for many of them to realize they were dealing with more than just a "run-of-the-mill" SRT model. The Charger Hellcat is as docile as a house cat when slogging through Los Angeles rush hour(s) traffic. Although the Jaguar F-Type's supercharged V-8 makes an intoxicating sound, crack open the throttle on the Charger Hellcat, and the blown Hemi unmistakably proclaims "American muscle."

Starting at $64,990 (including $995 destination and $1,700 gas guzzler tax) our 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was finished in Billet Silver paint over Black Nappa leather with Ruby Red Alcantara seat and door inserts. Other options include a $1,995 Harmon Kardon (900-watt, 19-speaker) audio system, $695 Uconnect system with 8.4-inch touchscreen and navigation, $1,195 power moonroof, and $195 for summer tires. Total cost came to $69,070.

Sure, you could build a more powerful car for less money, but the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the only 707-hp sedan available with a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is EPA-rated at 13/22/16 mpg city/highway/combined.
