in 3 years driving, it had two problems (windshield washer and auto-dim rear view mirror) which were repaired under warranty. The car is dead solid reliable.
great radio and mp3 player, heated seats, advanced AC all are premium features on a relatively standard model car
I use the manual/automatic shifter all the time It allows greater control for varying driving conditions (especially in hilly country)
While not a head turner in style, it is nicer to look at then the competition (Camry, Accord, Altima)
it sits like a luxury car with comfortable leather seats and soft plastics in all the right places. No squeaks or rattles in almost 40,000 miles.
