This vehicle is pretty, with great lines and curves. Unfortunately, those lines and curves add too many blind spots. The rear of the vehicle is raised, making backing up an adventure, as it is impossible to see what is behind you. The wide columns between the windshield and doors look good from the outside, but they can hide an entire oncoming vehicle at the right angle. The V6 engine is powerful. This small car can power through snow drifts, between the engine and the traction control. This performance, however, comes with a price, which is paid at the gas pump. The tire pressure sensors are a nice feature, and have come in handy after driving over numerous potholes hidden by snow. Equipped with On-Star, for those who want to pay for the service.

This was my first vehicle I ever purchased which was financed. I loved the interior look. The rounded vents were super cool for me. The rounded dash meters were also a huge plus. The interior lights are red, and I also found that to be different than any other car I had owned. I dislike how low to the ground this car sits. Driving my sister's van, I realized just how low this car actually sits. It also seems as if I can't see very well out of the front window due to the design of the windshield and the frame around it. I like the factory rims that came on it, and the design of the car is very slick. The traction control is a good thought but doesn't work well in this car. Getting around in the snow is next to impossible with the traction control on, which comes on automatically if it senses your tires are spinning out. The trunk has good space, and I like how it has the open button on the driver's side door. The vehicle performs well during the summer/spring months but is not ideal for winter months.
