My first new car and I love it!

I love the brakes and the take off. it is a smooth ride and does not feel like a small car. The trunk is small but serviceable but the overall look is sporty.

Very awesome vehicle

This car has everything I was looking for. The heated seats, and mirrors is an excellent option. The stereo system sounds fantastic. It's very sharp looking and the gas mileage is a plus. I love this car.

Not a bad ride

This is a good vehicle aside from the eco boosr engine. I do not like that when someone pulls out in front of you the engine shuts off when you hit the brake.

Better then expected

I purchased this vehicle with 250 miles on it. Wasn't sure what to expect because of average reviews. The vehicle now has over 8000 miles on it. I live in a northern climate. Over the summer the mpg was just under 40 mpg city/highway. During the winter it dropped to just over 34 mpg. So needless to say I am very happy with the mpg. It has a 4 cylinder engine but with the get up and go it has youd never know it was a 4. No problem merging onto the freeway at all. People complain about the leg space in the back seat. If you are awkwardly tall like 6 ft it might be an issue but I think there is plenty of room. I love the comfort of the front heated seats and the beautiful handling of the car. All controls are easy to reach. The heated steering wheel is nice also. Heated outside mirror etc. Great car for the money.

So Far, I'm in Love With My New Car!

I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a car, so I was looking for something that was reliable and affordable. I also wanted something with low mileage and that got good gas mileage. I wasn't totally happy with the color as I'm not a red/orangish person, but it's growing on me. It drives unbelievably well, and I'm really impressed with the gas mileage. It rides very smoothly. All the high tech computer stuff makes me a little nervous as my other car was just a basic car (2004), but I'll get used to it once I figure it all out. The interior design is great, but I gave it a four as there isn't much leg room in the back seat, so probably not a car if you're going to have passengers a lot. (I don't.) I think, though, that this is going to be a great car for me.

Nice car for the price

For being an SE model, this car has a decent amount of amenities. Heated seats and steering wheel, cargo management, Sync, steering wheel A/V and phone control, etc, it has plenty of features. Gets very good gas mileage, ample room for people and cargo, I am very pleased with my purchase.
