| General comments: | Comfortable car with great interior space - I am 6'-5" and can sit comfortably in the rear seats with the front seats all the way back. Engine is very quiet and road noise is fairly well contained if you run with good tires. Wind noise is noticeable, though at intrusive, at highway speed. I enjoy this car as a highway cruiser. Great mileage for a car this size - I hit close to 31 m.p.g. highway and average about 25 overall. The two (2) complaints I have is a poor turning radius and noisy suspension when the components are cold. |
| What things have gone wrong with the car: | Have had warranty work done at about 80k with seals and steering components. No other problems. |
| Previous car: | Honda Civic |
