Intended to be a cheap, economic to own car, and that's about what it is. Pretty terrible as far as anything related to sport, but I fit in both the front and rear seats relatively well, which is saying something, as I am nowhere near a small guy. Gets pretty good gas mileage for its size. Haven't had any problems with it, and we've had it now for nearly 3 years. CVT transmission is alright. Cool to show the lack of shifting to your non-car enthusiast friends when you're starting from a stop at a stoplight, but it takes about a decade and a half to switch from reverse to forward, which is a huge pain if you have to reverse onto a street with any sort of traffic. Keyless entry and starting are convenient. Cargo space is acceptable. Not huge by any means, but enough for groceries for a big family for week.
