If you live in the SF Bay Area and commute to work on our local highway/freeways, you be lucky to be moving at that clip .

I dropped off the car today and filled up the gasoline before I returned the car and hand calculated the mpg to be 25mpg on the AWD version. I think this is pretty good considering I did some spirited driving and the car did about 10% city driving with some idling. I can imagine driving at 60mph and getting 30mpg.

The car is such a blast to drive. Acceleration and handling are amazing especially in the turns. A few things that need improvement include the overly sensitive brakes. The moment you apply pedal pressure, the brakes would just grab the car. The wind noise was another area that

Does anyone know if AWD handles better or drives different than RWD on dry pavement?

I got up to 30 mpg before I put my 20s on, I doubt you'd get 30 in an X though, I've heard they get about 5-10% lower mpg than RWDs.
