It is cheap for a car but still feels very dependable and not like something where corners were cut in the design. It is a high quality car for what I paid. It is very fuel efficient and not expensive to run. The interior is sleek and definitely has some of a fun flair. It is cheap but not boring. It turns really easily and can fit into tight spots. I've never had problems parallel parking. This is not a car for carrying a lot of stuff or carrying big pieces of furniture. The trunk is small and the door to the trunk is pretty narrow. The interiors are pretty basic- cloth seats and plastic. The plastic definitely isn't that great and will scratch somewhat easily. The electronics are pretty basic. I do enjoy that the car does not have poor acceleration. The car is fun to drive and is mu... (more)
Story
This car was my temporary home this winter when I got locked out of my apartment. I had a good nap in it before my roommate finally got back into town.
Pros
It is very fuel efficient. It is very maneuverable. Good value.
Cons
The trunk is small/trunk door is small. Features are basic in the interior.

This car is a very reliable daily driver. The cabin noise is minimal, and the interior is very well put together. The styling is very flashy inside and out. I love it. The power this thing produces is just crazy once the turbo band kicks in. Also, this engine platform is one of the most followed and easily modified. I have had the car for about 50,000 miles now, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have installed a bike rack on top, and it looks very stylish as I go to my spots.
Story
Driving it through the mountain roads enjoying all the curves. I can really muscle through the power band as the suspension stiffens up on the really sharp curves.
Pros
Even though its a low car, I can still take it off the beaten track enough to go camping with. I have had no issues with any aspects of the car even with modifying the engine. This car is at 50,000 miles right now. I can even get my lumber from Lowes to fit when I lower the back seat and go through the hatch opening! I can get 30 MPG on the highway and still go to track day and open it up to 155MPH.
