put in a subwoofer and my bumper started to rattle a couple weeks later other that that i love the car and the way it looks. i bought it brand new and love to drive it. its not so performance driven because its only a base model but its still got some kick to it.

This was my first car, purchased new in June 2008.  It was plenty zippy for me, handling was decent, and it had a comfortable ride.  Fuel economy was on par with other cars in it's class, and the interior styling was great.  One thing that bothered me is that there is a rattle between the door panel and the edge of the front door (on both sides).  I have an appointment scheduled to fix it, but haven't yet solved the problem.  Also, the paint seems to be extremely thin all the way around the car.  In the first month of ownership I had two rock chips.  I'd also gotten a rock chip on the windshield during the second month of ownership.  More than likely because I drive on a road constantly full of rock haulers.

Overall, it's a solid little car with decent build quality, a fresh apperance, and plenty of power and fuel economy out of it's 2 liter engine.  The price I paid was well below what it's competitors cost (I paid $13,900 for the 2.0S with a six speed manual).  Would I buy it again?  More than likely.  It's affordable, and gets the job done.

My first car, so I don't know how it compares to many
other cars, but it has a lot of features, and has a great
interior. Silver in color, nice to drive, good audio
system, what else can I say? Also it gets 34 miles per
gallon, so it is nice considering gas prices now. Safe,
too.

i love everything about my car. It runs great. i would recommend it to a friend. The performance: i can't really complain. The speakers are good with the sound.

Its got tan leather interior! Sun roof, XM radio, iPod jack, and more!!
