I bought this car brand new when we had two kids in college. We needed something affordable with good gas mileage but sporty looking. It can seat four adults comfortably, which is nice. The back seat flips down so there is tons of space to haul things around. We get around 30 mpg, which is super! I have over 100,000 miles on it, and it still runs great and looks great. I haven't had any major problems with it mechanically. The seats are leather, which is a first for me, and they still look brand new. I like that there is a USB outlet, which was pretty forward thinking in 2012. The back-up camera is super handy and makes it even safer. We live in a very mountainous area of PA, which gets a lot of snow and ice, and it performs quite well in bad weather. I like that it is a smaller car. It makes it much easier to park. Sometimes it has a little trouble getting up to speed on the highways, but fortunately, I mostly travel on back roads. I can fit a lot of groceries in the hatch back/trunk area. I like the bright red color. It doesn't cost a lot to have the regular maintenance done on it. We like taking it back to the Ford dealer where we bought it, they have good prices on oil/lube/filter servicing.

The aspect I like most about this car is that it is a highly maneuverable compact vehicle. It has fast acceleration, and can turn very sharply. When parallel parking, there is clear visibility, and it is easy to fit this car into small spaces. I have the upgraded sound system on my vehicle, and the bass is very strong! When I listen to electronic music such as Deadmau5 in my vehicle, you can really feel the bass thumping. It also has Bluetooth connectivity with my phone, which is very useful. The leather seats are very comfortable. After about 50k miles, I found the engine in this vehicle idled slightly rougher than when it was newer. However, since I use it as a daily driver, this is still reasonable. There is plenty trunk space, and I am able to fit large packages in the trunk. There is also plenty of leg room in the back. Maintenance costs for this vehicle have been fairly reasonable and cheap over the years. The gas mileage is also very good, and much better than my previous car. Then moonroof upgrade is nice on sunny days, to let more light in from above. Overall I would say that I have been pleased with this vehicle.
