I love this car. I got the SX model which had the bigger engine size and it has really good pick up and go. It packs a lot of power in a small sedan. It is really good on gas mileage, I average about 28 to 30 mpg. It is easy to handle and really grips the road. I have used it to teach my two daughters to drive and they found it very easy to learn with. Only drawback is that we live in The South and the black leather seats get very hot in the summer. But the heated seats in the winter make up for that. I plan to keep this car for a couple of years and then pass it down to one of my daughters.
