I bought this car in hawaii. I got it for 20,500 otd price. It is a sport auto. I drove it on full tank from the dealership and as of now only averaging 19mpg. I drive only in the city to work which is about a mile from where i live. I understand it is a lot of stop and go to work, but i dont even use air con, and I should be getting at least close to the mpg that it state in the fact sheet. I havent called honda yet cuz i already know they will say it is still new and blah blah blah, you need to break it in or what not, but still this is horrible. Another problem is the transmission always feels it is down shifting too fast when I am coming to a stop.

This is a great car. I bought it new in 2012. It's a manual 5 speed. The good: Great mileage 42 on the Hwy 35 in the city. Holds a lot. If you pack carefully and stack things it it quite amazing what it will hold. Handles well and fun to drive. I have driven it through the Rockies and had no problems in curvy roads or bogging down at altitude. The weaknesses: It's a bit loud at highway speeds just the nature of an economy car really. For a small car it has a bit of a high profile in the wind it can be pushed around a bit. Not good for really long drives. It's comfortable enough for drives up to 200 miles nonstop but it's a bit uncomfortable if you plan on a 350 to 400 mile drive in one day. The maintenance is inexpensive. I baby it since I am used to having an Alfa Romeo. So stuff gets changed out BEFORE it wears out. I have has zero problems except the battery which is small and doesn't really last more than 3 years. It's a really well thought out design and the quality is amazing for a less expensive car. The AC is OK but with windows like an aquarium and I don't have window tinting it's tough on really hot sunny days. The upside is that you have no blind spots. Great car.

The car is a great car. Super on gas and drives nicely. The AC died at 7 years and 60K. One axle died at 70k and a transmission needed repair at 72K. Still a cheap car to run.

This is a good and reliable car, with lots of security features, comfortable for its size, looks very good inside and outside (especially steering wheel and rims), reliable and well assembled. I use it to commute from my home to the metro station, and for that purpose is fantastic. On the weekends we use my wifes car which is more spacious. The gas millage is horrible for a compact car and considering the price and the trim (sport) it is way under equipped. It is very pricey compared to other brands similar cars.
