Bought a 2015 persona a few months ago ($5500 off), racked up 9200ish miles in 3-4 months. So far I love the car, best commuter car I have ever owned. I drive a minimum of 55 miles per day plus some long road trips with the wife to get to 9k so quickly. I have been averaging 48mpg when its over 100f and 50-52mpg when under 100f. If there is a cloudy day where its below 90f I'm getting around 55-60mpg. I drive this car extremely easy and slow, no point in going fast. This car is very well thought out, oil changes take 5 minutes once the car is on stands. I have installed HIDs (8k, wanted 4300 but this is what was on sale) and adjusted the beams up a bit, I found them set way to low from the factory. I should receive my Tanabe DF210 springs this week as well. I'll install the springs, let them settle for a week or two and then measure out for some spacers for the stock persona wheels. Welp thats all I got, i'll post pics once its dropped on the tanabe springs.
That's impressive mpg for the 17" wheels. You must glide a lot where you are, in CA, I struggle to get to 48mpg with my 17" wheels
I usually never accelerate into the red unless its a hill. I also rarely break over 60mph on the highway, yep i'm that horrible prius driver. I tried the pulse and glide method when I first got the car, I was able to sustain 70ish mpg but its kinda rediculous to drive like that, i'd rather set cruise control.
