The first thing I noticed about this car is how sporty it feels. It really gets up and goes, is very light, and with a five-speed automatic transmission, it changes gears a lot, giving it a fun feel when driving on open roads. The sound system is great and clear, definitely a good choice for a young adult who likes music. I've driven 50,000 miles in this car and it's been very reliable during that time. No engine issues or electrical failures. Nothing about the car rattles or buzzes of its own accord, and the drive is just as quiet as the day I got the car. Overall this car comes across as super practical, and a good choice for constant, long-distance driving, or driving for fun with the stereo on. Once again, great for a young adult's first car.

The mechanical performance was surprising considering the price of the vehicle and how it was advertised as an entry line model. The sharp and intricate front headlight/bumper design gives the car a different look and an edge over sedans from competing brands. Considering how small the vehicle is it has an extremely big trunk which comes in handy for camping trips. The car itself has enough extras for my tastes with satellite radio options, Bluetooth capability, a CD player, OnStar and cruise control. The pleasant surprises came in the form of remote start built in and a turbo engine. Both complete the driving experience and make it a very fun car to drive. Gas efficiency is great as well and I like the fact that the tank capacity is not too big. Also, car maintenance doesn't get too complicated or costly, aside from oil changes potentially.
