Sporty little car

Great economic car. I didn’t realize it’s a sports car, so insurance seems steep but car works great. Reliable. Very attractive appearance. Holds lots of groceries in back hatchback. Getting into and out of car difficult due to low overhead, and if wearing a bun impossible to get in or out of doorway. Hard to buckle seat belts and seats uncomfortable after long drives out of state. Overall, this car is give a strong 7. But, I’m use to newer corvette, and Chevy or dodge trucks with v-8 and lots of comfort, power and room. This was my try at an economical car. I’ve had it for 1.5 years but thinking of getting a truck. Too low to ground for me. Im a very large woman so need more space and comfort. Probable more suited to a younger man or woman as it has eye appeal for sure and stereo, lights, design all cool

Its lit fam

Had this car for a few weeks now. I'm 5'8" and I fit in the car nicely. Everyone says the NAVs are slow, but in my experience that's just not the case. Would recommend.

Not my favorite

I am short and the seat was the most uncomfortable seat in any car I have ever owned. Set way to close to the ground even when at the top setting. The engine also had issues with exhilaration during a rolling stop, or slowing down when someone in front of you makes a turn, when exhilarating to get back to speed the car would hesitate and not move for a few seconds. Never able to pull out when normally I would have felt comfortable.

Crap Car

The dual clutch will get someone killed. It stalls out on an incline, the seatbelt adjustment (lack of) is a ridiculous joke. When you turn off the heat the blower keeps going. Ect. Etc.

Very fun car to drive

I liked everything about the car with the exception of the delayed startup of the entertainment/GPS/backup camera system. You started the car strapped yourself in put the car in reverse and no warning lines would appear. Then you put it in drive and the backup camera would stay on. After a block or 2 it would become normal.

Dangerous car

The steering wheel has no hole at the 6 o'clock position. Hands can't fit inside the 5 and 7 o'clock holes without triggering buttons. This wheels design is for controlling gadgets and steering second. Can't see out the back window. The front of center console let's anything in there fall out the side openings. Seat hurt back and feel like plastic and cardboard. Slow getting up to speed.
