I purchased this car a bit over a year ago. It's run very well and has had no work done (outside of regular maintenance). It's very quiet, minimal engine and road noise. It handles well, including in the winter.

My husband drives to work 40 mins each way (80mins total), 5 days a week and spends about $50 in gas every 2 weeks. I like how the dash tells how many more KM we have till we need fuel, takes out the guess work and uncertainty.

We have 2 kids who fit perfectly in the back with 2 carseats. They love the pull down cupholder/tray in between them. It becomes a little cramped if we try to fit another person back there so I do not recommend it if you need 3 carseats. I usually squeeze between them if need be, it's okay for a short trip.

We were a bit worried at first, having previously owned an SUV but the trunk has proven to be very roomy. It actually fits groceries better than our Jeep did. The trunk is very deep and can even hold our large jogging stroller.

Overall it's a great car for my small family.
