My car has been rear ended twice within the last year, and both times my car was left with only a few scratches. I was really impressed with how the car did not dent anywhere at all, and took the impact of the hit way better than other cars that I have seen.
It is pretty good on gas.
The only thing I don't like is the rear view mirror location because I find that it blocks my view of people on the right a lot more than the mirrors in other cars do.
I believe most domestic cars have rearview mirrors with two adjustment points on the "stalk". You should be able to move the mirror up. Otherwise get a mirror glue remover, and new glue, from the local car-supplies store and reposition. It is a big hazard to have a mirror that blocks the view to the right.
