What I like about this car:
Great mpg, easy to park, tight turn radius. Nice passenger room front and back, but convertible for carry bulkier stuff. Like the hatchback, rear window defrost and wash/wipe, audio system. The audio system has nice features like color options/mute.
What I do not like:
Being a stick, I wish the window controls were on the center console instead of the door. Also audio controls on the steering wheel are wierd because the location changes as the wheel turns. Also wish the back seat lay flatter when down.
Reviews
The guys who like gas guzzlers laff at it, but I laff at them. EVERY time I go through a drive through, the people
there notice my car, ask about the mpg, and tell me it's a really nice car. DON'T buy it if you like jack-rabbit
starts or going over 70mph on the highway - you won't be satisfied. DO buy it if you are looking for great fuel
economy, believe in going the speed limit, could use the occasional extra cargo space, enjoy listening to quality audio
in the car, and see yourself as a thrift-minded trendsetter. BTW, the car was rear-ended resulting in frame damage a
year ago. After repairs and much angst on my part, it drives beautifully - no pulling, odd tire wear, or any of the
things I feared. Totally impressed with how the car responded to major repairs to the frame, axles, and body.
