I never got the gas mileage that you got; I'm averaging around 42 mpg. It is less than I was estimating, but still significantly more than the Grand Caravan. You've given me hope that it will jump in the summer. The GPS can be a little tough to program, but once programmed I haven't had a problem. I haven't tried the voice controls on it yet. I've attributed my trouble with it to the fact that I haven't read the manual. I also haven't tried the car in heavy snow or ice yet. As best I can tell the car drives almost exactly like my girlfriends regular Honda Civic. I'm not looking forward to doing any sort of acrobatics in traffic, though, that's for sure.
