The 2000 Plymouth Breeze makes sense for someone seeking a straightforward midsize car with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Plan around 27 MPG overall rather than the higher highway number alone. City use brings the rating down to 23 MPG, and the EPA’s $2,500 annual fuel-cost estimate matters for a high-mileage routine. Its gasoline engine also carries a 329.15-gram-per-mile CO2 figure, giving buyers another running-cost and emissions measure to weigh.
