Well then let me insert some. I LOVE driving the car. Its quick, it handles
well, and its comfortable. The engine is TINY, puts out 90hp 150lb/ft and sips
fuel gently. When we went to Michigan last month we did 1500 odd miles with the
car loaded full and running 80+ mph it turned in 47mpg consistently. In
summertime commuting its gone as high as 55mpg and in the winter hovers around
50.
The oil filter thing can be blamed on a very tight engine bay, its a small car,
and an over zealous oil change monkey. I got the filter it had when I got it
out with much less trouble. I do need to remember for next time to not fill it
more than half full as it has to be tilted when installed and its hard to grip
when its oily.

All in all a simple oil change took just over 4 hours...
It's frustrating when that happens, but congratulations on getting it all
done.
