    This car drives wonderfully, and feels great. The seats are comfy and the features have everything I needed. It's had some work done since I took ownership and since then has just been perfect. A good vehicle to have for sure.

  • Small but roomy inside feels really nice

    This car fits my lifestyle very well. It’s small but has a lot of leg room and the trunk is surprisingly big. It’s performance is pretty good not the best but definitely can go.

  • Spartan but great gas mileage.

    Great little car, very good value for the $. I use it commute once a week between LA and San Diego, I can get (according to the on-board calculations) 45 MPG on a level freeway surface on the run down, have to keep it no more than slow-lane 70 though. (the speed limit is 65 but everyone on the I-5 seems to do 80.) The interior is pretty basic but overall it's fine for what I need. Even has Sirius XM radio!
