Mechanical problems. Struts, motor mounts, steering sleeve, ignition module and other problems since we bought the car. It's been back to the dealer 12 times in the past year and a half.
Advice to buyer:
Live close to the dealer because you'll be there alot. The extended warranty is required. Otherwise avoid this car.
Detailed review:
The car drove well. Some torque steer when applying the throttle. Suspension was fine. Great seats.
Also considered:
