I bought this car in February and it is a wonderful car. I have nothing but great experiences with this car, tons of compliments and the dealership I bought it from was awesome

Fun to drive; lacks pep though.

I was surprised when I first drove it. The handling feels great although it just needs a bit more power. After the first year, the car won't start after I filled up with gas so I had to call 24-hour roadside support (which I like).

Had mine built to order -- about 10 weeks from order to delivery, and it was sure worth the wait. This is an awesome vehicle. With the 218/236 turbo, power is great. With the Sports Package, handling is superb -- 17" wheels and sport-tuned suspension. This little baby puts out when you most need it, like dodging lanes in rush hour traffic and on-ramp merging on interstates. Build quality is excellent. In three months I haven't had a single problem. Everything works. Design is far superior to anything American, Japanese or German. Get this car if you want a good price, performance and lots of stares.

Just leased this vehicle a few days ago. It is fun to drive, looks great and has every feature I need for under $35K. It handles very well, the ride is smooth and I've enjoyed every minute of driving it! The navigation system is superior to other systems I've utilized in the past too.

I really wish it had better gas mileage. Avg. 20 mpg in the city (Ugh!) Overall, this car ROCKS! In Germany these are everywhere, but here in the U.S., I get compliments at red lights all the time. Looks sharp with sporty 18"s on them. The interior is awesome. I'm 6'3" and have plenty of leg room. Good trunk space. Somehow, the Swedes packed all that interior room in this little car! (very deceptive lol) Dolby II Sound system.
