Very nice car, not perfect though. But seemed better than the similar offerings from Toyota, Honda, etc. Plenty of room inside (I'm 6' 3"), big cargo space for a small hatchback.
I got the 6-speed manual transmission. It's a lot of gears in the low range, probably to get more pep out of the 1.8 liter engine. So a lot of shifting... you're into 5th gear by the time you go past 36mph, according to the manual. But it does drive pretty nice. The stock stereo isn't especially great on the base model, so one of these days I'll be looking into upgrading. Gas mileage so far (couple of months) has been very consistently around 30mpg. Haven't done a big long highway trip yet, though.
