2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD		 Nothing looks or feels cheap. Paint on the plastic and metal match perfectly. Joints are tight and consistant. Welds are very consistant. Materials feel thick and substantial.
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The fit and finish (materials, tolerances, etc.) are far superior to other hatches I test drove. The seat materials and comfort are amazing. Great upholstery for base option.
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5

7-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 I think the workmanship is the usual Honda top notch for the money, but the materials feel cheap. Both the Prius and Insight could use simple upgrades in their dashes.
