Bought the lowest trim possible. Only downside is it didn't come with rear speakers or cruise control.(things I didn't even think to check for because I assumed they were standard). I've got over 60k miles and zero mechanical problems. Only issue is both rubber straps underneath exhaust pipes broke off. Think these are for noise damping because the pipes haven't fallen off! The car handles very well, and the four cylinder has enough power to get the job done. Can easily hit 100 mph if you're not paying attention. Sound deadening could be better, but not nearly as noisy as my 2006 Sentra was. Gas mileage is outstanding. I average 35.6 mpg. Bottom line I would easily recommend. Great value at the price, so long as you pay attention to what is included in the base model.

I like the overall look of the vehicle. It's not big and bulky, but it also isn't too small like a clown car. The radio system is pretty easy to use, except setting the time on the radio isn't very intuitive. It doesn't really bother me, but if you're looking for a fast car, then you'll want to keep on looking. The seats are comfortable for short drives, but on long road trips, they can get kind of painful. The interior is pretty roomy. I transported four cats and one dog half-way across the country and had enough room for it. I also like the electronic display in the car. I like that you can scroll through and see how many miles you've driven, what your mpg are, tire pressure, radio station, etc. One thing I would change is the way the seat moves up or down. This car has like a pump handle, so you have to keep cranking it up or down to get the desired effect. I would prefer if it was electronic, it makes it a lot easier to adjust while driving. Also, the interior lights aren't very good. Even when I turn them all on, it's pretty difficult to see anything in the dark. I do like that this car is a four door. It just is so much more practical than a two-door car. The trunk space is nice, but I wish the seats would fold down better. I'm not really sure how that would work, but it is difficult to get things through the trunk/back seat. So overall, it's not the kind of car that makes you go ,"Wow", but it's a reliable, practical, affordable vehicle.
