I love this car. I purchased it new with only 6 miles on the odometer. Coming from a lifelong ownership of crappy vehicles that required constant maintenance and provided me with constant fears when risking them on the road, this vehicle is the best thing that I've ever purchased. It's style is cute, but not perfect. It looks great from the front and the sides, but from the back it looks a little plain. The front seats are fairly comfortable, but I once took a road trip where a few other drivers and I switched driving time and I sat in the back. It was like sitting on a brick. For several hours at a time. The back seat area is also not very deep, so I hope you don't have long legs, or go on a road trip where someone might want to stretch their legs out... The trunk is fairly large. If you're good at playing Tetris you can fit an amazing amount of oddly cube shaped objects in the back. The room between the two front seats isn't too bad. Remember, it's a compact car and they weren't lying. It's quite when I drive and when I idle. The blind spot is much better than most cars. It's had 0 maintenance issues in over a year. Gas mileage is, on average 32 mpg in the city. I have an OnStar subscription and once a month a report is sent to my e-mail alerting me of any possible maintenance issues such as low tire pressure, tire rotations, etc. It's fun to drive, quick pick up (I drive a standard), and parallel parking is AWESOME. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants cheap, well built, full of features, and safe. If you want to drive across the country, bring a pillow. For your butt.
