another E owner. get avg of 23 to 24 mpg for both city and highway driving.

Got an 06 used as well in Jan. Love it. Extremely functional for what I like to do.

The seats are out and I put in a liner and it has hauled yaks on top and bikes and camping gear for 2 inside with room to spare. They appeared to be quite popular among the Tri crowd at IMLP too... can't imagine why.

Much much info on elementownersclub.com.

Agree more blind spots but you learn to compensate fast.
