 Purchased as a replacement to my 2003 Nissan Sentra Spec V.  While this car is a downgrade in low end torque and gas mileage (Was getting 31 mpg now getting 24 mpg) the fun factor and refinement is miles ahead.  The space in the back seat is also a lot nicer.  Traded up because of a baby seat and the Speed allows a person to sit in front or behind me with a child in the rear passenger side.  Hatch allows plenty of room for stroller and diaper bags.  Looked at other hatch backs but none compared as far as fun, price, and space.  I went with the tech package and love the push button start.  The Navigation system is average, but nice for an integrated unit.
