The car comes standard with 6 airbags, ABS, traction control, Electronic Stability Program, Brake Assist, active headrest, etc. On top of that it one of the safest vehicles on the road today (IIHS Best Pick).
This car has amazing balance for a pretty heavy front drive car. The redesigned front/rear suspension got rid of the horrible understeer and sloppy handling of the last generation car.
Excellent interior build quality and materials, looks far more expensive than what I paid. All interior and exterior panel gaps are uniform all the way around.
Seats provide the right amount of support and do not have pressure points even on the longest drives. Feel as though they provide infinite adjustments (vs other cars I have driven) and can fit even the tallest adults.
Everything is right where you need it and once you get used to the locations of the switches you can do everything without taking your eyes off the road. All switches are lit at night. All the switches operate very smoothly and feel very high quality.
