pros
Great, practical and fun car.
cons
Stock tires could be better. MIB3 head unit is missing some of the previous software for Think Blue (fuel efficiency app) and Performance Monitor. Hopefully this will be fixed with an OTA software update.

Stylish and drives like a dream.
cons
While it drives like a dream, it rides like a brick. Not a complaint. Just a knock.

pros
Handling and driving have improved from previous models. Transmission shifting nearly nonexistent which is a drastic improvement from 2016
cons
Stop-start system awkward stopping a quiet vehicle becomes startling at times. Very little difference between driving modes. The backup camera seriously unclear on every car test drove at 3 different dealers on similar models and unable to focus.
