We break down each trim level and price below – the destination fee is additional $750 – but we want to point out for enthusiast fans that the six-speed manual transmission is only available on front-wheel-drive models and costs $500 less than CVT-equipped models.
Standard across all trims is a six-speaker stereo with steering-wheel controls, iPod integration as well as Bluetooth for hands-free calling. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels, cloth seats, cruise control, express up/down front power windows and a trip computer are also standard.
