couple of rattles. radio will be your friend.
Pros
Cabin Noise
Very very quiet ride. The cabin noise is non existent. Even on bumpy roads there is no squeaks or other noise.

Well over 30 mpg highway!
Seat Comfort
This is a small car, but feels much roomier than you would believe. I wanted a mini cooper, but it felt too small. This feels much larger, and rides much better.
