A lot of road noise. Especially with winter tires. Guess thats why the salesman had the A/C blasting and tje radio on loud.

Trash.

This car is designed for very young buyers. Senseless electronic shift control; cannot decide to move, shift through 5 gears under 20mph, or hold onto a gear 2000 rpm past reasonable. Leave a door partially latched? It will berate you with ww2 style submarine dive alarms. Move the car without latching your seatbelt, prepare for an audio beating. Want to set your cruise and decide when to slow down in relation to the car in front of you? Nope, not for you decide; no turning the slowdown feature, only shortening the range. Want a light show in your dash and door speakers with your night time radio? No? Too bad, you get pulsing rave LEDs anyhow. Taller than 5'-6"? Prepare yo hit your head on the roof stretching in the front seat. Need the parking break? Better hope the battery is charged, it's electric. Pray to God you actually get the car in park, I've had it roll several times. Any saving grace? Yes; 10 gallon tank and it's pretty efficient.

Noisy to ride in. Feels like you are right in the road.
