Edmunds 2005 Economy Sedan Comparison Test

[Ryan]

It's pretty bad when a 4 year old Honda can still edge out the brand new competition. Just wait until the new civic comes 😛

Someone seem to misinterpret the word "economy" in economy sedan.

"seven economy sedans that range in price from $16,000 to $20"

How did Kia even get invited, the Elantra is questionable as well.

What king of fuel economy does it have?

Can't answer for him but my 3 sedan (2.3L) with 5spd gets 29mpg city.

Come on, the Kia Spectra and the Elantra over the Cobalt, I've sat and driven in all three and I wouldn't even think of comparing them, I'm smelling a bit of bias here.

Whatever happens to the COROLLA?

This Spring, before constant A/C use, I was getting 26-28 MPG with my 3S/5-Speed in Atlanta city traffic.

This Summer, I've either been driving with the A/C on or with the windows/sunroof open, and my mileage has dropped to 24-26 MPG in Atlanta city traffic.
