 I bought this car new one month ago and enjoy the ride to work everyday (city driving).  My 6'3" tall but lean body build fits into the drivers seat with just enough headroom.  The ride is a tad noisy from the engine, particularly with the high rpm's upon acceleration, but not so much to be bothersome.  I don't care about the "plastic" interior comments from some of the reviewers.  I care more about the small side-view mirrors and wonder why nobody has mentioned this.  Also, the turning radius leaves a lot to be desired.  Why can't I turn into tight parking spots? The trunk is roomy.  The rear passenger space is roomy for a small car.  The good crash test performance gives you confidence.
