Styling is the best followed by engine performance.
Least favorite feature:
Vision to rear from outside mirrors. Driving in traffic is tricky.
Advice to buyer:
Make a long test drive to make sure you and the car fit each other.
Detailed review:
Very good engine performance. Difficult to get into driver's seat with it in top position but comfortable when seated. Very steady when driving on highway. Suspension is not too tight but holds on turns if you don't mind leaning. A/C appears weak for hot-humid locations. Controls all accessible with Japanese perchance for having one control do several things depending on what other settings are. Steering wheel cuts off seeing turning signals. Trunk volumn is good though high lid sill hinders entry. Braking OK but better with ABS which seems difficult to find on dealer lots. Styling is great - a primary reason for buying it. Make a long test drive to make sure you fit it.
