The USB port for music. All other car companies force you to buy expensive adapters to connect your MP3 player.
Least favorite feature:
Interior dash styling. Radio LED display is at an angle that makes reading it nearly impossible when it's sunny.
Advice to buyer:
Decided if the flaws are worth the cost savings over a Honda or Toyota.
Detailed review:
Highway mileage is as advertised. I've topped off at 33.8. Daily mix of city/hwy averages about 27.
Not as solidly built as Honda or even Kia. Closing doors and especially the trunk gives a 'tinny' sound.
I bought it with the 'Popular Package'. The Automatic headlights sensor isn't adjustable. The headlights & instrument panel lighs come on 10 minutes after you're no longer able to see the dashboard instruments. You can compensate by keeping the headlights on all the time. They turn off when you shut off the car. But, you paid for automatic headlights you can't use.
The 10 year 'warranty' is debatable. If you miss anything on the maintenance schedule, it could void the warranty.
I bought it for the price. It is a nice car to drive. Very comfortable for passengers and I don't regret the purchase. It will be paid off long before a Honda or Toyota would be, but I just needed to let everyone know that there are some flaws. You do get what you pay for.
