SportCombi - More than a Sedan / Minivan

We have just crossed the 500 mile mark and the car has performed great. Out on the highway the car does well for a midsize car (e.g. semi trucks that went flying by us didn't move our car as much as our minivan) and around town the car is a blast to drive. The safety features are second to none and car has many luxury features with impressive build quality - no rattles. Back seat comfort and cargo area exceeds the rest of the cars we looked at (Volvo, Audi, Honda) and meets our needs as well as the minivan does during arond town drives. The controls and radio are simple and easy to use. Speed warning feature is very nice and provides another safety feature (i.e. no speeding tickets).

Got this car about a month ago and I can say I am very satisifed so far. It is a little smaller than what I am used to but the gas mileage improvement is more than worth it in this $3/gallon gas world. The performance is awesome for a wagon, the stereo sounds great and it is pretty luxurious inside. I liked the Aero better but it wasn't worth the extra dollars. It feels great on the highway and the only turbo lag I have found is in first gear. If you keep the RPMs high enough, you will never notice.

I have the black Sport Combi, and everyone agrees - it looks sharp! The upward rake makes it look very sporty and unique from other wagons. Tne leather interior is beautiful, and the car feels solid. The Turbo 2.0 provides a lot of power to a 4-cylinder engine - more than my previous V6 car.

Great car... BUT

Have had this car about 4 months and have been mostly pleased. Great mileage... about 35 hwy. Good power, nimble handling and comfortable ride/seating. Controls required me reading the book for an hour to fully figure them out. Easy access for the 2 car seats and ample cargo area. We are struck though by minor complaints re:cup holders. 2 separate and peculiar locations, when it appears only some small engineering changes could 've made these much more user friendly. Limited console storage area as well. Overall a great car w/a few minor convenience issues.

Recently bought the car, with just a couple hundred miles in, I really like it. Low torque steer, good cornering stability, quiet ride, and decent economy.
