I did an overnight test drive last week. It was the top of the line SL AWD leather , NAV , heated seats.. Its a fun little car.. smaller then the honda fit we have now. MPG were not good.. I couldnt get better the 23MPG even in eco mode. The CVT tranny is strange at first. In manual mode it shifts pretty fast. I was surprised it felt almost manual feeling.
Basic run down of what I found.
Bad.
No rear dome light.
MPG / uses 91-93 =$$$
VERY cramped back seat.
CVT tranny is weak and I wont be able to do a turbo upgrade with an AWD model
NO ARMREST!!

GOOD.
kinda fast/ fun to drive
NAV is easy to use
heated leather seats were nice
easy to get in and out of , and to park

With gas on the rise I didn't go back to close the deal. I accually am going back on thursday to test drive a LEAF. its onlly 2.8k more and gets 100mpg compared to 23 and has all the heated seats, nav ect ect.
