I'm just trying to understand (not attacking) because, like everyone else, I constantly evaluate my purchases (especially ones of this magnitude).

Well, I have numerous gripes about the car, namely all its squeaks and rattles (I've had my center console fixed at the dealer.. twice now), its mushy dive-prone suspension, and its screwball climate control system ("Didn't I turn ECO mode on?").
Re the MPG, it's the extent of this car's under-performing the EPA City rating that's so disappointing.. 37% below rated. Even my big Benz was only 20% below rated City MPG.
