Engine does not feel at all like a 4-cylinder, except for the excellent fuel economy (30+ MPG on the highway). Quick off the line, and you always have the power you need for passing or merging. Auto Transmission is smooth and responsive.
Classic and clean, with just the right amount of understated "sportiness".
Crisp and responsive. The car holds the road very well in all conditions, including several recent snow storms.
Most materials seem to be of good quality. Seat leather is comfortable and feels sturdy enough to hold up well over time.
Make the car a better initial value than some of its competitors. Also brought the price down into my price range, so I could by a car I actually liked rather than one I just thought was OK.
