Fuel Economy
Cons
Seat Comfort
swevice notifacations too long and no indication what's needed
Dashboard
too many lights
Pros
Interior Space
For a smaller car, the inside has plenty of room. I'm 6' tall and don't feel cramped at all
Technology and Entertainment
We are very happy with the technology and entertainment components
Fuel Economy
We are getting gas mileage in the mid 30's consistently. Our previous car was a VW diesel so we are spoiled on mileage, previously averaging in the 40's; but for a gas engine, it's very economical.
Cons
Cabin Noise
Outside air noise around the doors can be a bit noticible but not obnoxious
Pros
Ride and Handling
handles well, good gas mileage.
Cons
Visibility
I don't like the turn signals and rear lights on the bottom back end.
