Favorite feature: |
The interior is GREAT! Perhaps not the roomiest, but there are alot of extra conveniences (storage spaces etc.). Ergonomics, and user friendliness are first rate. Those German designers know what they're doing. Keyless entry, gotta love it. |
Least favorite feature: |
I really can't complain at this price except that it could use more rear leg room, but that's all. |
Advice to buyer: |
Be sure and test drive all your potential choices. After all, you're the one that will be living with the vehicle. Do this and you will be happy. I have no regrets about my choice. |
Detailed review: |
I agree with most of what has been said. I wouldn't describe the ride as rough however. I think it is a rather stiff ride, which in my opinion can be a good thing. It seems to have great control and feels much like the Mazda Protege. The 126 hp certainly isn't anything to brag about though it seems quite adequate given the type of vehicle it is. If you want a quicker model get the SE. I am thoroughly enjoying this car. For $15000 it is currently the best bang for the buck. I don't know much about the safety, and really my insurance was what I expected to pay. When it really comes down to it, you can't expect a small car to be as safe as a larger car and that's not the point of this vehicle, right. It's a compact. I feel pretty secure with the dual airbags and steel beams welded into the sides of the car doors personally. Not to mention the seat belts work just fine. What more could you ask for? The car does sit a little low, but again, this is a compact. None of the other cars I tested seemed any easier for me to get my 6' tall 215 lb. frame into or out of. |
