The only thing I that for me diminish the inside comfort is that driver's door frame is to low and affects the comfort of driver when looking for visibility

I've owned this vehicle now for almost 3 months. I was happy to purchase it, but left the dealership questioning my decision. Something doesn't feel right about the way it drives. I've had some time to get used to it, and suddenly my check engine light comes on. This wouldn't be so alarming if I hadn't just retrieved the car from being serviced for regular maintenance. Aside from the sunroof not being fully functional, she checked out great. Now 3 days after, "check engine light" is on. Additionally, this car sits very low, you can feel almost every bump. Driving over a railroad track in the most cautious way gives me a little anxiety. Now, I consciously try to avoid crossing them, if that is an option. Also, my small kids do not like this vehicle. I actually had to purchase new compact car seats to accommodate them. What exactly made me do this review? I feel like the purchase was a bad decision for the family. It's terribly small. Sits low. Doesn't drive well. For such an expensive purchase, consumers should know first hand. I do not recommend this vehicle for anyone with small children, even if your preference is a compact car. Keep looking. Also, goes without saying, maintenance for this vehicle is $$$$ expensive. UPDATE: the rear differential malfunction is a common problem in the vehicle. Google it. Worse decision ever purchasing this money whole vehicle.
