Everything I wanted and needed was on the EX straight from the factory. No options and add-ons games from the dealer. As of 8/2013, we have over 56,000 miles on vehicle and it has remained totally reliable, comfortable, enjoyable to drive and we expect to keep it for a long time.
Exterior styling is a little utilitarian, but not that important to us.
Driver sits upright like in a comfortable desk chair, which results in excellent visibility and a feeling of being in control.
Six airbags and excellent 4 wheel disk anti-lock brakes standard.
