I have never owned a more reliable car; it has had nothing go wrong for the two years / 31,000 miles I have owned it. All it has required were oil changes and windshield wiper changes. The audio syste...

low cost of ownership due to it being indestructible,and not as slow as people think lol averaging 55mpg at the moment and definitely helping with these gas prices

Pros

Fuel Economy: 55mpg at the moment

Cons

Weather Versatility: it will get stuck in a puddle of mud,maybe it's something I need to work on but had to pull it out of a small puddle in my yard

This car gets great gas mileage, which was one of the primary reasons I was interested in it since I commute to work and I was tired of having to fill up every few days. Even during the hot Texas summer months when I run the air conditioner almost non-stop, the trips to the gas station to fill up are few and far between. My particular model (I drive the touring edition) has a JBL sound system, which I wasn't necessarily in the market for, but comes in so handy on my long drives to and from work. It also has a full touch screen which is used for just about everything, including GPS, climate control, and the sound system. That particular aspect has taken a bit of getting used to since all of my previous cars had buttons and dials for everything. The "heads up" display has a lot of lights and pictures and information about the vehicle, which may be distracting to some, but I don't find it a problem. I have read through the owner's manual and still don't fully understand all the features and capabilities of this car, but I have quickly become very familiar with the basics and features I use routinely. The backseat is small-ish, but does offer some decent leg room, even with the front seats pushed all the way back. The trunk/cargo area is fairly roomy on its own and can be expanded by folding down the rear seats for longer/larger items. There is also a privacy screen/divider that can be pulled out to create more of a traditional trunk space and hide any items from prying eyes. Overall, this is a great little car and I would definitely consider purchasing another in the future.

Pros

Fuel Economy: I commute quite a long way to and from work every day, so fuel economy is a must.
Technology and Entertainment: The JBL sound system is great for listening to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. during my commutes to keep me from getting bored on the road, especially when a busy highway turns into a parking lot.
Interior Space: I was pleasantly surprised by how much legroom there is. The ceiling might be a bit low for taller drivers.

Cons

Dashboard: Especially in the full touch screen model, there can be a lot going on all at once, which may be a bit distracting for some drivers, but there is an ability to customize these to suit individual tastes or needs.
