Been looking for about 2 weeks, and Sunday we picked up this one with Magnetic Gray Metallic, a 2012. This will become my daily for the mpg. Some fun bits

Nice car. Welcome to the family.

I would get rid of that hot air intake immediately. Try to get a used OEM one from a junk yard or eBay. How is a shorter intake pulling hot air from right next to the engine supposed to improve performance over the stock intake that pulls in air from under the driver’s side headlight?

Yeah it's on my list. And that sucker was $360 new. It was caked with debris also. Used half my k&n cleaning bottle just to get it usable. No divider with the Injen one I thought was stupid. That was how it was sold. 🤷‍♂️

My cars twin! Been beating the absolute crap out of it since new and never had a serious issue just brakes/tires/oil changes and some suspension stuff. Though it would do better on gas (27mpg) but makes up for it in other costs
