Low Miles, looks like new. Clearly a garage car.
Ride and Handling
While not a sports car, I would say sporty
Fuel Economy
Goes forever on a tank
Cons
Pros
Technology and Entertainment
For 2012 technology it works really well with tech 10 years ahead of its time. No apple carplay but Bluetooth audio works great and phone calls work surprisingly well. While the car doesn't have sub woofers standard, the stereo packs a good punch and its pretty easy to add accessories if that's your thing.
Styling
Definitely was ahead of its time, ages really well in 2023.
Power
Has a decent amount of pep for a 2.5L engine. Can definitely get out of its own way. Pretty fun for a FWD even in stock form. If your wanting to modify the engine a bunch, stick to a civic or focus ST as there aren't hardly any engine performance parts anymore.
Cons
Visibility
Blind spots aren't to great but there manageable for the most part, definitely look twice before changing lanes lol.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy isn't terrible for a 2.5L engine but if your wanting 25-30 mpg in stop and go traffic Id recommend something with a smaller motor i.e. 1.8 or 2.0L.
