 Detailed review:

Have extreme difficulty backing up due to the position of the rear side walls, can't see around them. Also have had it in the shop twice now for starter ploblems. It stranded me in town, all electrical things worked but would not turn over, it has 30,000 miles on it and this has happened two times. The starter wire that goes to sylanoid the first time and this time the starter had to be replaced but they only repaired the damaged starter wire this time.Also had to have the radio replaced and rear speaker replaced, and the hatch release doesn't work half the time.

 Also considered:

2005 Toyota Prius
