It would be nice to get around 40 mpg in one of these vehicles. I don’t understand why they don’t make a mini-SUV hybrid, such as on the platform of a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CRV.

Have changed the tires, the wipers, regular oil changes/ filters. The alternator went bad around 40k. other than that, it has been problem free.
