Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Average between 37/42mpg daily driving highway and a work route.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Didn't know cars essentially drive themselves now. Last car I had was a 2018 and the technology increase is exponential.

• Styling

  Every bell and whistle you can want while still maintaining cost/value and MPG/weight. Also I've been ruined by A/C Seats. Never knew this was a thing.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  If I had to pick anything it'd be that on the highway I have to turn the radio up a lot higher than normal to hear over road noise. This ONLY came to mind when I saw this con as an option.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Despite it not being a hybrid, this car is exceptionally fuel efficient. If you do not speed on the highway, you can easily get 50 mpg.

• Value

  This car is a killer deal for the money! Truly cannot be beat.

• Power

  The car is actually pretty powerful and quick for it's class.

  The GT-line is not a GT and I was not clear on that.

  You feel every bump and the car feels a bit like a toy.

• Visibility

  There is a huge blind spot due to the windshield placement.
