This car doesn't really coast, it just kind of slows down as you roll. If you want to keep your speed, you have to stay on the accelerator. But it sips gas. Been getting about 27-28 combined city/highway. That's gonna save me between $50 to $100 a month on fuel, even more if gas goes up again.
Oh, and I put a KC Royals sticker on the back window last night. Yeah baby....
Love the navigation system, hands free phone, radio and sound system choices. Pretty bitchin.

Good news. Glad you like it George. The coast thing must be something car companies are doing these days. My inlaws have a Jetta TDI that does that same thing. It behaves as if there are jake brakes installed.
