I was also very unimpressed with the quality of the car (interior especially).

For the people that are getting around 30 MPG what are you doing to obtain those numbers? Are you doing a lot of freeway driving? Do you live in very flat areas? Just curious...
I'm doing about 80%hwy/20%city with some pretty hilly terrain. I don't use the Cruise at all. I've only run 3 tanks so far and am working on the 4th, but so far I like mine. But then again, my last car was a Kia Spectra 5.
The Vues are great if you do a lot of hwy driving. If you're mostly city, you probably won't be all that impressed with the mileage, or so I'm told.
