A wonderful car. Had been driving 1/2 ton p/u trucks for yrs. I am amazed what I have hauled in this car. Never thought I would not miss my trucks but I don't. Handles great and great pick up too. Never loses speed on long grades. Very comfortable driving on trips.

I bought my car last Nov. and still love it just as much as the day I bought it. I have always been a Toyota person, but this is the best! It is perfect for someone like me who needs the cargo space of an SUV (for a large dog) and the fuel economy of a car. With the great turning radius and small size it is just the thing for running around town.

That's what my wife calls it anyway. It handles very well. The higher seat position exaggerates the feeling of lean in a turn. It stops very well. Brakes feel is good. The engine is loud above 3500rpm and pulls strongly from about 3k. It rides quietly in 6th. You can shift early and putter around quietly or you can rev it and hear the roar. This car will move if you want it to. The 6 speed shifts nicely. The throws are short and precise. The dead pedal is a little closer than I'd like. The seating position is otherwise fine for me. Visibility is good. Ride is a little stiffer than my wife's 98 Civic, but still good enough for me with 17" wheels.
