The vehicle handles well and is comfortable. Gas mileage is decent for a car of its class, though I wish it was a little more economic. Road noise on the freeway is a little too loud, but not such an issue when driving in the city. One thing that bothers me is the odor that comes when I turn the air conditioner on. During the first couple of years of ownership, this was not an issue, but over time, a "stale" odor manifested. I've had filters replaced, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The odor usually lasts only a few minutes before it dissipates, but is a bit annoying, nonetheless.
