 I've owned this car for a few months and so far I couldn't be much happier with my purchase.  I was told when i bought it that the catalytic converters had already been replaced in it which disappointed me but we made the purchase anyways.  The ride on the new Hancock tires was amazing.  For a front wheel drive car this thing handles amazing. The hatch offers a lot of potential for mass cargo so I intend to use it next year for a cross country trip. Gas mileage could be a little better but when switching from an SUV I can't really complain all that much.  The only bad thing about the vehicle I've found is the turning radius. It's pretty horrible and my old SUV could out turn it.
