I like the handling, economy, comfort.I hope it will last after all the recall work that has been done. The leak that many of you have is probably from the same area that mine leaked from. I fixed it myself. It is located on the right side (passenger side) top right corner of front windshield. I got some windshield sealer (in a tube) add forced it in behind the gasket between the body and the gasket, starting about three inches down the right side, then up and to the right (towards the driver side) for about six inches. That stopped the leak. It was leaking down the trim on the inside of the window then it would follow the side trim (inside) to the floor. You have to be sure to get the sealer down between the rubber gasket of the windshield and the metal of the body of the car. The sealer is applied of course on the outside of the car. Good luck.
