This car provides great value for the price paid. I have only owned this car for a few months and have only driven it for about 5,000 miles, however, the performance is beyond expectations in that it hugs the road nicely in turns and interior quality is very functional. The car does not have good acceleration speed, however I did not expect to get that in this car. The car feels very steady on the road and has a very smooth feel, even at higher speeds. There is plenty of storage capacity in the hatchback and in the driver area. I also love the old school engine - I can actually see the parts and fix certain items when needed.

My favorite thing about this car is the CVT transmission. I know many people are not a fan of it for various reasons such as lack of the feeling of shifting gears or low acceleration, but the car is very gas efficient. I average 30 miles per gallon using regular gas on both highway and city driving. The all wheel drive is nice and the car handles well in the snow. (Where I live, we get an average of 115 inches of snow a year, so I would know). The seats are made of a very comfortable material that doesn't heat up too much or get too cold.
