The 2001 Plymouth Prowler makes sense when two seats and rear-wheel drive are the point. City driving is rated at 15 MPG, while highway driving reaches 21 MPG. The ownership calculation is clear: $4,850 in annual fuel cost and 522.76 grams of tailpipe CO2 per mile. Buyers should weigh that fuel use against the car's limited seating and focused layout.

Choose the Prowler for its specific mix of two-seat packaging, rear-wheel drive, and a six-cylinder gasoline engine. Its practical measure is 17 combined MPG, supported by 15 city and 21 highway. Plan around the EPA's $4,850 yearly fuel estimate and its 522.76-gram-per-mile CO2 figure. This is a focused choice for someone who does not need more than two seats and is comfortable with its fuel budget.
