Fantastic car

I have owned this car for 5 years and only issues i've had have been changing the battery once and one check engine light. Very comfortable, spacious and safe. Used to to move several times and didn't have to make more than 3 trips. Also very reliable in long roadtrips

Decent Car

I bought this car used with 88000 miles. Car had been neglected but is running good. Beautiful car just has a weak engine and MPG has yet to reach anywhere near what it's advertised.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

Great gas mileage, great outward appeal, easy to drive. Best car I've Owned, although a bit compact for my taste (I'm tall)

Sporty and Practical

I own the GLI trim, and it's a practical and fun car to drive. The trunk has ample room for luggage and groceries, and the seats fold down pretty easily. The back seats have enough room for average-sized passengers. The car is quick on the throttle and handles well. It's an all-around good car.
