Perfect for a small family
This car is perfect for a small family. I have used it in Kentucky, US where I was driving for about 9 months without any problems. The lane assist camera is very sensitive so make sure you wipe the area around it before each drive for safety purposes. Gas mileage was great, in the city on average 35mpg (I drive pretty economically). We moved to British Columbia, Canada recently, and driving conditions here are a bit different. So gas mileage here in the city on average is 21mpg (same driving style). So that's something to be aware of. Overall, we drove this car for 1 week over 2500 miles and it was reliable. I like driving on Fuel Conserving mode where the vehicle sort of starts slow and brakes slow as it's more economical on your gas consumption. Interior and exterior are good (but it's to each individual's liking may differ). There are some recalls on the transmission system here in which I noticed a problem only once - shifted from P to D but the car didn't start moving as it was still in-between state. I had to move it back to P and back to D, and it was resolved. When driving, you can definitely feel how it shifts gears (if you drive on Auto, not the shift stick). I would say it's a good first car if you are starting out, has a good value for the money you pay - you can customize a few things there quite a bit if you are techy.
