This was my first vehicle as a high school student, and its such a great car I'm passing it on to another family member. Overall it's spacious enough. I got the hatchback which is great if you have a dog and or take small trips. This car has been all up and down the east coast with me and my friends. Many road trips in all sorts of climates, from mountains to valleys, beaches, farmlands, dirt roads, you name it. This car has been everywhere. It gets used a lot by the family as a great gas saver & all around errand car as well. With regular maintenance and mostly highway miles due to so many road trips its never ever had an issue or broken down. Not once. I love how fast and zippy it is, it'll get you where you want to go for sure. I think this car would make an excellent car for a young person who's just starting out, the price point is fantastic, and it doesn't feel cramped you can have 4 adults in it comfortably. It's clearly more of a city vehicle but it holds its own if you have an adventurous side as well.

As a first vehicle it is great, simple and reliable. It has decent gas mileage and has not broken down thus far. The interior is very basic and does not have any luxurious items whatsoever. The vehicle performs well on the street and on the highway but will leave you embarrassed if you ever try using it as a race car, evidently because it is not one. Overall it is a very solid first vehicle but eventually it will get very boring to drive it, even if driving is not your passion.
