Very practical

My son is driving it and it meets all his needs as a young adult. He is a college students and uses it to commute and get around campus for academic and work purposes.

Awesome Car

Has plenty of leg room. I am short and the seat goes up so I am not sitting so low. My 6'8 friend had plenty of room on the passenger side. Great mileage, has bluetooth and a CD player. Rides well.

Best 4 banger I have driven in a long time

It is still very new, but overall it has been a great car. Good gas mileage, comfortable, plenty of room for a car seat with leg room for my child, exterior looks great, good size trunk, and a lot of cool features. I just wish it had a little more get up and go, but I traded in a 6 cyl for a 4 cyl.

Great Car for Budget

Good car for its value. It was good gas mileage, I often achieve 35+ on the highway. Fun to drive for a compact car.

Great car

For the price of the car $15,987.00 I feel it was worth the price. One thing especially, is the steering will works so smoothly.

Good and Affordable

I needed a new car ASAP because my old one was giving me some hard time plus less than 16 miles per gallon and I drive a lot for work. This car has about 30 m/g and its exterior is really pretty. I will test it and see if I like it, will keep it if I do.
