Saw a Consumer Reports thing that said they have the slowest acceleration they've ever tested, something like 14 seconds 0-60. And they aren't that great on gas, when compared to a Corolla or Malibu that seats 4-5 people and gets almost as much mileage.

I'll have to agree with you as far as taste goes. As far as the mileage goes, there's probably a difference between the gas and diesel versions. Back when they first came out, me and a buddy rented a diesel one for fun and put about 250 miles on it in 24 hours. I kept track of the mileage and the thing got 68 mpg driving the crap out of it.
