i believe the drag coefficient is barely lower at .287 vs .29 in the 2011, which is inconsequential.

A shame about the small aero improvement...but that little 4-banger is smoooooooooooth.

most hatches in this class have a cd of around .32, so thats very good (sedans are much more conducive to less drag).
