pros
It is a comfortable car, especially for those in a budget.
cons
While milage is good, it's not necessarily great. There are some issues and tends to be about 75 miles short of estimate.

It handles very well for a compact car. It has great pickup speed also. Design is good. I'm very tall and I fit in very relaxed.
cons
Radio could be better. Speakers are average.

pros
I like the small size of the car and the good cargo capacity for the size. I also appreciate that you don't need to buy the highest trim level to have access to Apple CarPlay and other features that many manufacturers only provide on upper trim levels. As it's a small car, the handling is very tight and it's a fun little car to drive. It gets great gas mileage and is cheap to fill up.
cons
Acceleration is sluggish at times, especially on the highway. Rear passenger space is limited, so difficult to fit 4 adults in this car if they are at all on the taller side.

pros
Seats are roomy, front and back. Nice to have a new car, quiet ride.
cons
Sits too low - had an SUV before and liked the view. No storage compartment between front seats. Not much other storage, pockets behind driver seat and on doors. Had a 2001 Sportage and loved it, miss it very much.
