Who it suits. Drivers seeking a two-seat rear-wheel-drive car Buyers comfortable with gasoline running costs
The 2000 Plymouth Prowler is a focused two-seat car, not a fuel-saving choice. Its 18 combined MPG, $4,550 annual fuel estimate, and 493.72 grams of CO2 per mile define the ownership trade-off. Rear-wheel drive, a six-cylinder engine, and a four-speed automatic give it a clear mechanical identity. Consider it when the two-seat format and driving layout matter more than minimizing gasoline use. For city-heavy driving, expect the lower 15 MPG rating to shape your fuel spending.
What it is
The 2000 Plymouth Prowler is a car in the EPA Two Seaters class. It uses gasoline, rear-wheel drive, and a 3.5 L 6-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The numbers
The Prowler's defining EPA figure is 18 combined MPG. That combines its 15 MPG city rating and 21 MPG highway rating.
Highway driving is rated 6 MPG higher than city driving. Tailpipe CO2 is 493.72 grams per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA lists annual fuel cost at $4,550. The gasoline rating and that yearly estimate make fuel spending a central part of owning this car.
How it compares
Its 18 combined MPG is exactly between the 15 city and 21 highway figures. The spread shows how much the driving route changes the Prowler's expected economy.
There are no other vehicle figures here for a direct model-to-model comparison.
Who it suits
The Prowler suits a buyer who wants a two-seat car with rear-wheel drive and accepts a gasoline setup rated at 18 combined MPG.
It makes the most sense for driving where two seats and the car's city-versus-highway fuel split fit the need.
Trade-offs
The 3.5 L six-cylinder and rear-wheel-drive layout come with 15 city MPG and a listed $4,550 annual fuel cost.
Highway economy reaches 21 MPG, but the car remains a two-seater and produces 493.72 grams of CO2 per mile at the tailpipe.
Verdict
Choose the 2000 Prowler for its specific two-seat, rear-wheel-drive layout rather than low fuel use. Its 18 combined MPG gives a clear expectation, while the $4,550 annual fuel estimate sets the running-cost bar. The 21 MPG highway rating helps on longer trips, but 15 MPG city driving and high tailpipe emissions remain part of the deal. This is a focused choice for someone comfortable with a gasoline two-seater and its fuel budget.
