I liked the gas mileage, the handeling it has, i liked the Bluetooth system, i liked the look of the car, also the front seats are very comfortable. I disliked the small space, and how light the car is, the back seats are not that comfortable.

I rented one of these and had it for about 2 weeks, it only had a few thousand miles. I expected the compact size to be an issue due to my size but it wasn't. I was very comfortable driving and as a front passenger as well. It was just my wife and I so we did not have anyone in the back. Which was good as I was able to move my seat back to a comfortable position. This did not leave much leg room for a rear passenger though if we would of had one I would of been forced to move my seat up and be a little crunched. The factory tires are bad in the snow, plan on needing a set of snow tires on the front. I got stuck in an inch of snow on a very slight incline and the transmission overheated within 2 minutes of trying to get out. The computer was polite enough to display a message asking me to apply the brake and displayed a countdown timer until it would be safe to go again. Also I could not get any traction when starting out from a stop in the snow when other drivers on either side of me had no issues. The trunk had a decent amount of space but the opening itself was not very wide. Larger laundry baskets were an issue in this sedan as you cannot get them into the decent size truck because of the opening itself being so small so you may want to opt for the hatchback if that is a concern. I had to put mine in the back seat. My wallet way pleased of course as driving half way across the state did not cost me much in fuel.

Car has good options for a base model. The bluetooth built into SYNC is very nice on the base model. The seats feel nice for such a small car that is not luxury. The hatch fits quite a bit of luggage and stuff.

I had this car for 7 years no problem at all
