I like the miles/gallon efficiency. The handling and performance is average. I really dislike that the trunk is quite small, much smaller than every previous sedan I have owned. I dislike that the car sits lower to the ground than my previous sedans, and now that I'm in my late 50s this is becoming a problem. The car has sensors in each tire to show the air pressure in each, which I, at first thought was a really nice feature. But every time the tires are rotated, whether by my husband or at a repair shop, no one is able to reset the tire sensors, so what is shown as "right front tire" could be any one of the four tires. And about 2 years ago, one of the sensors went out. I found out that it will cost approximately 500 dollars to replace it, which I really find not worth it for one tire sensor. But now the "tire sensor warning light" is on constantly when I drive for the last two years. I have had a problem with the coolant leaking and have taken it to the dealer twice now, each time for more than 1000 dollars and the problem is "fixed" for a while only to recur again 6 months to a year later. Now, again, I'm having to frequently monitor and top off the coolant and have been holding off as long as possible taking it in yet a third time since I've owned it for this problem. The headlights need replaced on almost a yearly basis to have clear bright light.

I think the vehicle is very well designed and built. It is a reliable vehicle with great gas mileage but also a medium size for comfort without the weight. The engine has been known for its reliability and durability. I have driven almost 50,000 miles in the year I have had it and it starts every time. Most of the parts are simple and not too expensive. It is easy to repair and figure out where things go and how they work. Even though it is by no means a race car, you step on the gas and it will go just as fast as the sports cars on the road. It is the perfect in between.
