Pros
Cost to Maintain
Small car equals small costs. Tires are affordable. It gets decent mileage. Sparkplugs, brake rotors and other upkeep items will be inexpensive to replace.
Power
It is sub 200hp 4 cylinder, but with a close ratio 6 speed, given it's light weight the car moves pretty well. I'd say it has slightly above average acceleration, when combined with it's other sporty qualities, it makes for a well balanced, fun to drive car.
Ride and Handling
The handling is great, it is softly sprung, which make the ride pretty smooth and the body roll around a bit, but the suspension is well designed, so the car is really balanced even with so much suspension movement.
Cons
Cabin Noise
It is a bit noisy. Mine is a hardtop, yet road and wind noise makes it into the cabin. It is livable, but could be better.
Cargo Space
Ummm, yeah it is tight. Some people can't drive it, some people have a hard time being a passenger even. It also has a tiny trunk. You need to want to have a small car to love a car like this.
Technology and Entertainment
The stock head unit is pretty lacking. It fit the aesthetics really well, but its technology has aged poorly. It has bluetooth for phone calls only. I swapped to an after market Android based system.
