Faults:

Almost from the very beginning the radio would sometimes not turn off, even if the engine was turned off, doors locked and key removed. This occurred off and on for the first 12 months. Seems to be fixed now following a dealer upgrade to the computer.

No other problems.

General Comments:

This base model front wheel drive car functions well. The 4 cylinder engine has sufficient power and the 9 speed automatic shifts smoothly. Traction control with front wheel drive works well in the snow. I do wish it had 4 wheel drive, but that was a lot more money.

For a base model the car comes well equipped with air, cruise, power windows, locks and mirrors and Bluetooth with steering wheel controls.

It does not have a spare tire, which seems a little chintzy.
