I like hatchbacks. The styling of the car is very appealing to my tastes. Compact and efficient is what I look for. The car is very comfortable. It has leather seats and the materials used in the car don't feel cheap. I get great gas mileage from it being a diesel. The performance is great, because it is a turbo diesel. Maintenance is the same as any car. I take it for regular maintenance, but I know diesels will last longer than a normal gas engine.
