This car is super practical! Theres so much room inside, lots of trunk space and incredibly easy to maneuver. Parking is a breeze! Easily carries around 3-4 passengers, has decent legroom in the back. Also has a good amount of power for its size, pulls through traffic pretty easily. Gets up to speed quickly and has a decent transmission (I use the manumatic shifter and it changes gears quickly, and predictably.) Gets pretty good gas mileage, 26-18 highway and 16-20 city.Mar 23, 2024

It’s a base model, so it doesn’t have much, but it’s a good little car. Dec 11, 2022
