The driver side door does not make a very good seal, causing it to leak during hard rains.
At times, the fabric on the top will ride up on the passenger side, exposing the mechanics of the top.
The in-dash 6 CD changer managed to scratch every single CD in the exact same place after about eight months. Dealer says this was due to excessive use and not cleaning it properly (I don't listen to the radio very often).
All of the problems are covered under warranty, however I haven't been able to leave it at the dealership for service.
The car does not handle very well around sharp curves, due to the FWD. This will cause the back wheels to easily slide out or spin.
Acceleration could be better, but acceptable for a 4-cylinder.
The radio and clock display in on the top and middle of the dash is a very good idea. It allows me to quickly glance at the time or tune the radio without taking my eyes of the road.
I've had the car for just over a year and overall, I am very satisfied with it. It handles extremely well and it is a very smooth ride. I would highly recommend this car.
Just about your comment on how the car handles around corners - FWD actually helps cars corner better and makes it virtually impossible to slide the back wheels out. That's a RWD symptom...
