Great post. For others in America, the 5.8 L per 100 kilometers come out to around 41MPG, which is not bad considering the car isn't broken in yet, and people are going to test the power when going on test drives. My main problem with the car is the lack of a spare. I seem to get a flat about every 3 years, and 1/2 of them would not have been fixable with a can of flat repair due to sidewall damage. A small temp spare would be the bare minimum for any car I buy. As much as I like the car, the only way I’ll buy one, is if someone figures out a way to secure a spare in the back without using up too much of the space behind the back seat.

So, is there an empty space for a spare? Or if I bought a spare tire, would it have to be put in the cargo area? I've had 4 flats between my past 2 cars (17 years), and wouldn't even conside a car that didn't at least have a temp spare. 3 of the flats happened at inconvenent times and I would have missed important events if I had to wait for a tow to a tire shop. Even a can of flat fix wouldn't have worked on 2 of these times as there was sidewall damage.
