At highway speeds, its engine spins at low rpms, which explains the 30-plus highway miles per gallon we achieved. Yet with a quick downshift, there was plenty of power left for passing.

Its suspension consists of MacPherson struts up front, supported by coil springs, and a beam-type rear axle, also using coil springs. Our test car was so equipped.
ABS is optional.
