Favorite feature: |
looks |
Least favorite feature: |
performance mediocre at best with base engine- dealer price gouging |
Advice to buyer: |
either wait 6months to a year for price to come down- or buy a Subaru, Civic Si or Acura RSX |
Detailed review: |
Quite an attention getter and reasonably well equipped IF you can get it at MSRP. Underpowered with the base engine, have to plan passes and merges. Somewhat choppy ride on grooved and rutted pavement. Besides the attention factor, not really that much to offer over other cars in this price range. Lack of room, the seat adjuster, somewhat fragile body panels and the anemic base engine combined with dealer gouging make this expensive eye candy. At MSRP worth a look for a kids car- high school or college, or an around town errand car. But it does nothing better than many other cars and some worse. |
