Pros

Great MPGs, nice stereo, sunroof is awesome

Cons

Still figuring out the navigation. I don't like the button placement for the Bluetooth on the steering wheel, always seem to accidentally hit it and turn it on. Luckily all I have to say is "cancel" and it will turn off.

The Most Practical Vehicle I Have Ever Owned! — So far I have almost 5000 miles on her and she has given me 36 mpg around town. I love the sunroof, it is huge! Sirius stereo is great! The engine is pretty muscular with so much torque, I surprise quite a few people with how quick this car can take off! I have loads of room, it is very comfortable, and it gets great mpg, What else would you need? I can't wait to see how it does on a roadtrip! Supposedly after the engine passes the 10000 mile breakin period it will be able to get 50+ mpg!

Pretty Disappointed — The Bluetooth system in the car is a joke. Nobody can hear me when I am using the Bluetooth and am driving 60 mph or above. It is incredibly frustrating. The heater take about 20 minutes to really kick in. The windows catch and squeak when it is warm out. The car shudders occasionally when I'm driving at slower speeds.
