39. It was OK

They do get decent gas mileage, around 25 town 30 highway. Even higher if one is out on a highway that is nice and flat for an extended period. One problem I had since early on though is that gravel and other debris would get up inside the wheel and make really bad scraping noises. Dealer never seemed able to fix the problem once and for all. Never had that with other vehicles. So I'm thinking it wasn't designed for people living in the country.
