I Love this car. The fuel economy is mind blowing, the power is insane considering it is a 4 cyl car and the style is futuristic but not gaudy. The transmission shifts smoothly through all 6 gears, the ride is firm but comfortable especially on long trips. I have had absolutely no problems at all with it other than needing oil changes and such. It is a masterpiece of a vehicle and when I rented it back in 2009, I right away knew why Ford was the only one of the big 3 who were not in bankruptcy. They make good cars... Hands down the best car I have ever driven...
