If you are going to spend $19000 buy a Honda or Toyota.
Detailed review:
It rides comfortably. More than sufficiant power from the four-banger. Quiet. Its actually pleasant on highway rides. Brakes heat up real quick in traffic and in the city. Lots of fade.
Dome/Map lights in a bad spot. Not typical center of roof where every other car manufacturer puts them.
Fold down seat is chincy, why not 60/40?
Brakes are terrible, our first brake job was at just over 800 miles due to a defect. Now we are in about every 2000 miles for new brakes. They cover the issue up by turning the rotors every time but never fix it. The service advisor said that the rotors can be turned up to 30 times before they replace them. That was after 5th time they were turned. Sure thing.
