The Snail
 My wife has owned this car for three years now.  It averages about 28 mpg and it's size is deceiving.   Things I like: size, seat height, fuel econmomy.   Things I hate: performance - it can't hardly get out of it's own way. This is the worst performing car we have ever owned.     Seating position in relation to the steering wheel, console and door arm rest.  Who designed this?  My knee is against the shifter console and my arms are straight out to reach the wheel. The door arm rest is too far back as is the storage console to rest your arm while holding the wheel, if you can reach it.   POOR Performing AC unit. This car has too much glass and not enough cooling capacity.
