3 last year without warning and could do so again anytime. With so many great fuel-stingy cars out there, why take a chance? Below are the ten 2006 cars whose mileage numbers will best protect you from a pinch. Note that this is EPA's estimated mileage, which comes with the fine print of "results may vary" thanks to its archaic testing procedures. Still, the tests are consistent from car to car, so the finishing order of the cars can be expected to hold up in the real world, even if the exact numbers don't. Except for the Prius and two Civics, all figures are for cars with manual transmissions, which by nature of their more efficient design tend to squeeze out 1-2 extra MPG. But even with an automatics-only rule, the same ten models still comprise the list in only a slightly altered order - no surprise there. Hybrids of course take the top three spots, largely thanks to the ability to turn off their engines. Other reasons include shrunken engines, improved aerodynamic tricks, and harder tires. Don't think that mileage comes for free; hybrids cost a couple thousand more at the outset. Diesel-powered cars occupy the next three spots, though not everyone is comfortable with the technology (mostly due to outdated generalizations of 1980s diesels) or having to find gas stations that carry the fuel. For those who prefer to tread in familiar waters, let's hack off the top six entries and redo the list. 30 MPG on average, and it's a pleasant surprise that perennial favorites Corolla and Civic lead the pack. Presence of the Mini Cooper and Acura RSX serve as proof that mileage need not come at the cost of fun or performance.
The VDC system monitors brake pressure, steering angle, wheel speeds, and reduces engine torque to help the vehicle stay on the driver's intended path. Braking is facilitated with 4-wheel disc ventilated rear and front brakes, along with the 4-sensor ABS with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution. The base model provides a respectable fuel economy, burning 21 mpg in the city, and 28 mpg on the highway, which is better than previous models, and about the same as its main competitors in the SUV category. The Outback features a classic crossover exterior design, with big roof pillars, a large, wagon-like rear end, and a couple of roof rails with retractable cross bars. Up front, there is a wide, rectangular grille and large fog lights, as the most eye-catching features. Inside, the Outback is pretty well equipped, with standard power windows, reclining rear seats, air conditioning, and tilt/telescoping steering column. As far as entertainment is concerned, there is a CD stereo, with Bluetooth and audio streaming, as well as iPod connectivity. While the interior is not very luxurious and doesn't have any high-tech features, it does have its advantages, such as the easy to use controls located on the center console, and the abundant front and rear leg room. Safety is the feature associated with Subaru through its history. You know that you don't have to worry about safety when you buy a Subaru. The Outback is equipped with some of the best safety features you can find on a car, such as the collapsible steering column, the brake override system, side-curtain airbags, keyless entry system, and many more.
