Bought this in '07 and now up to about 130k kms without any major problems but have replaced brakes a couple times. Leather interior and heated seats and heated steering wheel are great pieces of the interior.

The center column on the dash is a bit too button-heavy but if you like gadgets and extra features, then you'll love it. The stock stereo system is better than most others and I've left it that way and I play it loud often.

Exterior has no rust and body is doing very well - no accidents with this.

Great fun to drive with the power under the hood, easy to pass slow movers on the highway and jump out quick from a stop. Basically a 4-door sports car. Back seat is large and comfortable but trunk space is just average.

Fantastic and has held its value very well from when we purchased it used a few years ago. The ride is very smooth and quiet and interior is comfortable.

Only problems if I had to pick some are the weird dash configuration of the stereo and the 6 CD changer in a different spot. And there is no auto-shutoff like most modern vehicles if someone leaves an interior light on. I've bought a battery booster just because of how often I come out in the morning and battery is dead. The rear liftgate could use a power assist as well - it can get heavy to close with two arms full of groceries. Only major work to be done is the air conditioning compressor went this summer (waiting till next spring to bother with it.. no sense in the winter)

Otherwise plenty of room and still no rust on the exterior.

Bought this used myself at about 60k and it has just over 90k but I've only put on ~ 10k / year. The hp and torque give this little car a great getup and go, and very fun to drive on the highway. Front seats are comfortable and the dash is stylish. The outside curves and contours are attractive and it gets confused with more expensive cars often.

I do love this car, but the negatives - problems with water leaking into sunroof - doesn't get inside the car always but gets stuck between roof and interior ceiling - some owners report drip down seatbelt housing. I had mold grow in trunk from sitting water and had to get it looked at twice. Torque steer is noticeable with this car because of front wheel drive but manageable.
