turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 25000 mi | Rear hatch latch that was previously repaired became loose so the hatch would not close properly. It required realignment and tightening. |

Dealer replaced latch under warranty. Door handles increasingly hard to pull to activate latch to open doors. Dealer lubricated handles, problem apparently solved. |
