Thumbs up First Hiway trip in my 2.4L:):)

Ok so ya this is the first time my 2.4L Coby has been on a long Highway trip and yes I consider Red Deer to Calgary and back a long trip, esspecially with the mother and sister,lol.. So ya i fill up the tank with regular and 3 people in total are in the car! funny thing I noticed was how the fuel gauge seems to move when the cars moving so I'm like yikes its used that much gas already!!! , but low and behold no its all cool.. So to make a long story short I drove back and forth with alot of side trips in Calgary and man that motor is better then my 03Honda Civic lx in gas milage!!! And I was doing 120-130kmph sometimes, and not to mention she pull in 5th gear!!! I am soo impressed with this motor and car I have no regrets, just next time no passengers,lol.. Oh and the only mod, if you can call it a mod is a drop in K&N replacement air filter..So ya, first impressions and maybe a reason to buy a 2.4LSS..but thats me.. ok sorry if this was long..I'm just happy is all Later all

yea i just went on mine aswell i was crusing at 85mph and find myself at 105 and once i got there the car would just pull like hell. It was a great ride, but i took it on the dirt road for the first time as well and it was hell compared to my LS on dirt. This is an SS/SC.
