My foremost concern was with price and fuel economy. This car is excellent in both regards. It costs a similar amount to a Toyota or Honda in the same class but has better driving experience, styling and interior features. I also wanted a hatchback, and I thought this had the best total cargo room in its class. The only problems are with the car's lack of horsepower and its rough driving experience on highways. These are not significant concerns for me. I also appreciate the car's safety features such as blind spot monitoring.

The car as a second car was okay. I got a very good deal on it from a Porsche dealership who wanted to get rid of it. However at the start it was a great upgrade form an older VW Passat. It was smaller but it did not have a turbo in it which made it a little older. The acceleration is still really nice but the brakes are actually pretty weak compared to other cars.
