first, the motor make sthe entire car vibrate. I made a recent trip to toronto from ottawa and my hands were numb from the cars vibrations. Our local dealerhsip said that this is a ongoing issue and have had alot of complaints about it with this car. second, rides terrible, you can feel every bump and crack in the road and alot of road noice. terrible location for the heated seat adjustment, just infront of the center console, you have to reach in and back. fuel millage is good, expected better. maybe had higher expections for this cars fuel economy. Trunk size is modest, can fit 6 tires in there(Hatchback model). a little tight for child car seats. I am 6' and cannot sit in the front seat in which the car seat is behind. handles well in winter conditions with snow tires on it. axcelleration is horrific but cruises well above 110KPH. just rolled 20,000km and no maint req'd yet other then the required oil changes. A good car for teenagers and retired folk. not a recommended buy.
