The German-built hatch back is solid as a rock, with smooth handling and suspension. It can be hard to find manual transmissions in this day and age, and this one is so fun to drive. The hill assist is very helpful with street parking. The dashboard interface is very intuitive and useful in keeping up with my car's diagnostics. The small size lets me park anywhere, while the hatchback and fold-down back seats make it able to still do some minor hauling if necessary. I somehow feel like my car cares about me. It'll alert me if the weather gets cold outside, if my tire pressure is low, and even slows down the wipers while I'm at a stop. The stereo is amazing, and the seats are comfy. This car is perfect for a young single woman who wants a little fun in her commute.

It offers the feel of luxury simply by way of all the buttons and compartments that make the interior of the vehicle feel overwhelmingly charitable in gadgetry. I was discovering new features for months after purchase. Despite the fact that it is a compact vehicle, the interior overhead space is generous- so you don't feel like cramped or limited. It actually has more headroom than the Audi A4! The turning radius, is exceptional and the size of the car allows you to park just about anywhere. Unfortunately, the mpg was NOT what was advertised. Between city and highway driving, I probably average 23 miles per gallon. Still, it's better than a lot of other cars on the road. The vehicle quite quiet in the city, however highway driving is quite loud.
