I think these cars are about the perfect daily drivers. Lets face it nobody drives to work with passengers. On Friday when you go the grocery to buy the stuff your old lady "forgets" it all fits. It handles the country backroads like a champ and it great on the interstate. It does well in the snow with snow tires.


The only question mark is how long the engine will last before becoming a PITA. A lot of people here are optimistic so I hope they are right, but I would be more comfortable with a Toyota engine.


There are already some with 50k miles no issues, but that's easy interstate driving. The chainsaw sound of the engine struggling up hills isn't quite confidence inspiring, neither is the tip-in knock, or the vvt sound. But I have my hopes up better now that there is a domestic TSB for a better factory tune. Every dd should get that dealer flash.
