I get 34 MPG city driving, with hills and stops. I have also had 39 MPG @ 90 MPH on a trip across Minnesota.
I bet if I had 90% highway driving and eased off on the acceleration a bit I would hit 44 MPG... in a flat part of Texas :) |

The sedan was likely tested with a 5-speed manual transmission, whereas the hatch (at least the 5-door hatch like I have) only was available with a 4-speed automatic in 2009.
Maybe that's the key diff? I often think, as I drive the car on the highway, "I wish this had one more gear...." |

Lots of folks fussed about the 5 door only being available with the auto in 2009. The 3 door could be had with the 5 speed manual, as could the sedan.

I would have bought a 5-door if the manual was an option. I will NEVER drive an auto trans. Even one as good as the Yaris/Echo's have.

I like the fun of a manual, but my wife doesn't drive a manual and has no interest in learning how to... And honestly, with 18,000 - 20,000 miles per year behind the wheel, well, maybe I like the idea of the slushbox doing the shifting for me... Especialy after being at work for 12 hours!
