This little car has more leg room for the driver and front seat passenger than my Avalon has (and the Avalon is pretty roomy.) It rides quite well, it's really very quiet, and the mileage is really great. I had to put in an aftermarket Cruise which was a real pain, but it works well (just be sure to really read over the installation directions if you buy a Rostra kit, They are not well written for the manual transmission kit.)
If you are looking for a small economy car I think it's a great choice. The price is about the same as a used Focus around here and you get the warranty and a zillion GM dealers to honor it.
