Overall Score
This car never ceases to put a smile on my face every day. I love that it handles well and is very agile to park. It's great on the highway and almost feels like a living creature. It's not your usual economy car by any stretch. Love the fit and finish, very comfortable seats and lots of tech gadgets included at a super reasonable cost. Very well designed and classy looking inside and out. Coming from a 2012 Civic, this car is easily three times as good and even gets better fuel economy! I love the range feature, distance to empty, great stereo, auto windshield wipers and extra utility of a hatchback. The only real fault I can find is the road noise can be a bit much but then I just turn up the stereo. It's been a much better car than I expected and now I see what all of the hype (zoom zoom) was about. Reliability has been excellent so far. Cheaper insurance than my Civic as well. Take one for a drive if you're thinking of this car!
On certain vehicles equipped with hand-operated parking brakes, the rear brake caliper protective boot on the parking brake system may not perform as intended, causing the parking brake actuator shaft to corrode. Over time, the actuator shaft may become stuck in the brake caliper body which could lead to decreased parking brake holding force or cause the parking brake to drag while driving. Decreased parking brake holding force could cause the vehicle to roll away if parked on a slope which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the rear caliper assemblies as necessary.
On certain vehicles. the fuel tank may contain a defect which could allow a weld to break, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace if necessary.
On certain vehicles equipped with the regenerative braking system, a fault could cause the charging system to malfunction, which would display the charging system malfunction warning light and error message. Continued vehicle operation in this state could result in an engine stall and a loss of motive power. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module.
