Shocking amount of interior space and comfort for a small car.

Some rattling that is annoying but easily fixed with a quick search.

Fuel Economy
As good. If not better mpg than the Fiat I previously owned
Technology and Entertainment
Glad I got a 2016, standard reverse camera and CarPlay.
Value
Great car for the money.
Cons
Dashboard
Only one usb charger. Easy fix...but still kind of annoying.
Styling
Many “hidden options” that should have just came standard. (Ex. Window control with the remote)
Pros
Ride and Handling
One of the best electronic handling out there. You can switch specific handling modes. Ride is super comfortable and quite.
Power
4cylinder power when you need at low end or mid range.
Styling
Stylish outside and inside. Will age well. Good clean lines.
Cons
Fuel Economy
Premium Fuel, 22mpg in city depending how you drive the vehicle. On freeway slightly better mileage.
Cost to Maintain
Tires and wheels, oil changes, routine maintenance.
