Nothing so far... Knock on wood!
I was looking for a new commuter car to take the place of my protege. Price, gas mileage, and fun facter where all considerations in my descision. The feather lite cluch and the easy shifting one me over quickly. The suprising pickup from the little 1.6 DOHC engine was just iceing on the cake!
accelleration is quick and the 4 wheel suspension really soaks up the bumps in the road. Very suprising for a package of 7500 after manufactur's rebates!
Best warranty in America at 100k 10 years! I would say take a peek at this one if you are considering a small nimble little car that won't break the bank.
This is some stuff I forgot to mention. I heard that the automatic transmission version is not nearly as peppy as the manual as in most cars. I overheard a co-worker state that wishes he would have chosen the manual.
Big benifit from this car comes from the amount of torque at low RPMs. Much better than my protege mentioned in my above post. This translates to fewer shifting in traffic and takes steep hills easily even when shifting. I am getting about 38 miles per gallon been watching it closely since I purchased the car.
My commute is 50 miles one way I usually drive 70mph when I can. Another nice feature is the city driving is rated at 27 mpg, but I think just like the highway rating is low compared to what you will see.
I agree with the other poster in the thread that I too wish it reved a little lower at @ 70mph, but that is a small complaint since I'm speeding anyway.
I did not expect this on a 7500 dollar vehicle...
You've got probably the best value in a small car made anywhere on the planet. I drove my best friend's Accent on a road trip last year and I was really impressed with the power, smoothness and overall good feel of the car on the highway. it is every bit as peppy and comfortable as the outrageously priced and grossly over rated Toyota Corolla and has a MUCH BETTER warranty. In addition, we averaged 40mpg on interstate driving at around 70mph.
