I got the base model on a lease deal after trading in my VW GTI 6 speed and so far I miss my GTI. A few cons I’ve found so far is the stock radio, lack of cup holders in the back, and the waste of money features like auto bright head lights. When are we gonna come far enough in technology to put it all in one touch screen for climate, radio, etc…preferably not big screen sticking up in the middle of the dash?!? For the amount this car cost it can at least come with a decent radio and speaker set up…even Honda is bringing Bose to their new civics. I love the daylight running lights but I don’t like that they have to go off when you make a turn…can’t we design them to stay on and have the signal..??? I feel like this car could be made sharper by redesign of the lights themselves. A good car should have the minimum of leather seats, quality radio sound and comfortable seats. Cant say I’m totally pleased with this car…wheel wells could be designed to look a little more mean and wider set at the back too. Several months later and I still feel the same.

It is an excellent small to mid-size car that performs like a larger car.

I have a 2021 Lexus is300, this car is everything you want it to be; comfortable, sporty and versatile. Maintenance is much cheaper than competition. tech is up to date with competitors. not the fastest but it will get the job done.

Enjoyable to drive, sporty, responsive and fun! I wouldn’t mind if it weren’t even a bit faster! I live where it snows snd need the AWD.

Great car - Apple play only works when plugged in (via Bluetooth would be nice)!
