Faults:
Nothing yet.
General Comments:
This is actually my wife's car and she simply loves it.
From a male perspective, this car was designed for women not men. I find the car somewhat uncomfortable due to relatively narrow seats, and generally kind of cramped, and I am Mr. Average USA Male at 5'9" tall and 200 lbs.
I have found the car to have well above average handling, but the low speed acceleration is a bit inconsistent; the car has plenty of power, but the computers seem to be a little confused at low speeds.
I have found the speedometer to be too small and the turn signal switch mounted in a somewhat odd location compared to virtually every other car in the world.
Also you would think Ford could put hood lift cylinders on a car that costs 32 grand new.
As I said, my wife simply adores the car and that is what really matters.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am actually a firm believer in FWD. Lot better performance in bad conditions. Heavy engine and parts need to be over the performing tires so you can get grip in rain/snow. That's just my experience though.
