Reliable, stylish, excellent build quality.

High quality build and stylish with exceptional gas mileage. Amazing car across the board! This car ride like a Cadillac and still handles amazingly! Super quiet ride with tons of power! It's a 2.4L four cylinder, but moves like a six cylinder. Plus, it doesn't have a turbo. This means no expensive repair bills in the future. With regular oil changes and maintenance this car should last to at least 250,000 miles.

Great car.... best I’ve had, so fat

Roomy, ride is great, and an incredible warranty. Plus, it’s a good looking car. The sound system is excellent, good ease of use. The digital display is laid out in an easy to use fashion. Overall, a great car.

I love it.

The car has the most back seat space of any car I've ever owned! Its GREAT on gas 27in town. 40hwy. The only problem I have is that occasionally the breaks "grab" while I'm driving. It never happens on hwy. Just in town.

Very clean and fast, I can’t wait to do a long family trip in it. My oldest fell asleep after school after about 5 minutes
