New 2008 FEH owner
 
Just bought mine last week. Got a really good deal on a high mileage(135k)

I testdrove four FEH before I settle on this one, and surprising this one had the most miles but sounded and felt the best. The steering and ride felt more new despite having some very light body damage. I'm guessing the previous owner was really good to it other than couple of spots it has. I've never drove such an inexpensive and economic vehicle that felt this good with that amount of miles.

Anyway, I love it so far! I've been on the forums for a few days, learning to get the most out of it. So far, the factory MPG counter is around 36-38mpg(which probably means 34mpg) after some practice, but I always drove sort of "slower" to begin with so I'm accustomed to. On the way home today it read 41.5 steady in 30mph-40mph.

I plan on having this for a few years and maybe even doing some ubering in it. Any thoughts on making it last outside of a normal car? Thanks!
