Fuel economy is great for the age and type of vehicle. Most of us seem to be getting in the high 20s (MPG) or just over 30. I can't remember seeing any issues with oil consumption in any threads here.

The big issues here all seem to have to do with age and maintenance. Timing belts, pulleys, glow plugs, CV boots, etc.

As for power, it's crap. 100hp. Barely gets out of it's own way. But I don't mind. Once up to speed, it moves down the highway just fine. My motorcycle does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, so I can always get a speed fix if required!
