Things I like about my car!
Could have more room that's just about it honestly. I like everything else about it. Radio and interior and exterior is absolutely amazing and seats and windows and just about everything really I would definitely advise people to look into this type of vehicle.

Great seat warmers, warms up great which is good living in Washington.
My car is great it is very comfortable and easy to drive, there’s lots of space in the trunk and the back/front seats. Bluetooth connection is good, but when the weather outside is chilly my back up camera does not work. Only once did it fail on me when the alternator broke when I was in the freeway.
Pros from Owners
Nick M.
Small comfortable well designed vehicle with nice leg room in the front seats. The style is sporty looking with nice features. The interior is well designed. This vehicle ranks high in safety. Lights are very bright.
Cons from Owners
Nick M.
The fuel is nowhere near what factory claims in mileage. Its horrible on gas. The back seats do not have as much legroom as what you would expect. There is no temperature gauge in the vehicle which is very unusual. Repairs are expensive.
