Best Bang for the buckSource: MSN Autos...I can easily fit my 6 foot 240 pound self in one. Nice handling, quick enough and smooth auto trans. Trunk has equal or more room than many other types of similar cars. Drives like a German sports car I owned years ago. Cons: Not a very user friendly sound system. Very basic and not iPod accessible. Cup holders in doors are basically unusable for someone my size. If I place a water bottle or similar sized mug in it my knee can become trapped between the door and steering wheel. Potential safety hazard if you shift your leg up while driving. Overall: Very nice and at a great price. Bought mine... |

It's a Cutie!Source: Edmunds...It was torture to wait! I found out how great it handled from having to dodge all the potholes in the roads coming off of a hard winter. After years with a boring automatic, I can finally shift! Downshifting is one of my favorite things to do while in this car. I bought the dark gray hardtop. I didn't need a showier color such as red. That would've been overkill. The car alone says it all. It is understated yet boisterous. I'm driving to West Virginia in a week and can't wait to get on those winding mountain roads and see just what it can do... |
