60 MPG FTMFW 🙂 and it handles pretty well in the turns being that it’s only 1800 lbs. 🙂 and if you get one with 150k+ miles, they go for like $3.5k-4.5k ---

yeah, the batteries are starting to die now. but honda warrantied the originals for 10yr/150k miles. you can get them rebuilt for about $500 i think, or use them from a prius. other people have installed a turbo instead of using the IMA motor when the batteries died. ---
