Handled great and was fun to drive. The improved tires added better handling in rain and especially snow. It was easy to park and had great visibility. With the fold down seats it can handle most household purchases and even bicycles. Oct 27, 2014

I bought this car originally to travel for work and less than a month later was given a company vehicle. The car sat for a year until my wife got pregnant and had to give up her 2-door Accord in lieu for this more car seat friendly vehicle. She has been happy with it with the exception of the bad suspension (feel every bump) and the horrible sound dampining qualities (hear every road noise).Jul 01, 2014

I forgot to say that all the reviewers above who say they use it for "spirited driving" must mean driving while intoxicated, because you can't even use it for boring driving. It has absolutely NO get up and go. Spirited driving, that's a real laugh.Jun 21, 2012
