I have had my car for approx. five years, and I still love it. The maintenance has been fairly easily, and I found I mostly only need to keep up with oil changes and standard maintenance. The car also has good gas mileage, and that is probably my favorite feature about the car. I am able to drive an average amount and only need to fill up the car every two weeks or so. I like the ECO feature that lets me know when I am getting the best gas mileage. As far as design, it is an average looking car, and I like it enough. The interior design feels spacious enough, and I find that I don't have many blind spots when driving. As far as the performance, typically the car rides smoothly with no problems. However, the car is somewhat light, and I do at times notice slipping and sliding when the roads are icy. I find that the heating and cooling in the car works well and seems to heat up/cool down faster than other cars I have had in the past. Overall, it is an average car that has been affordable, dependable and efficient.
