The look of the car is perfect for a college student. It appears high end, but isn't overly expensive. The car does appear kind of boxy, but otherwise is stylish. Also, the interior provides a lot of storage including hidden. There is enough room in the front of the car, but the backseat can get tight especially with taller people. The trunk is average size, which is nice for the subcompact car. The seats were stylish and comfortable comparable to the average car. Blind spots are not an issue because the side mirrors include a small blind spot mirror. The gas mileage is fair as it is approximately the same as what was given at the dealer. Lastly, it drives smoothly and was fun to drive.
