I got what I expected - a GOOD thing
 I've owned the vehicle for a month.  I have been averaging 47 MPG in winter driving.  It has started in the morning with no problem even at 20 below F.  I switched to winter tires, all seasons are iffy but the car does very well with winter tires.  I'm 6'4 and its a little snug, I keep hitting the CVT stick with my knee when I get in the car!  The seats are not so comfortable but its fine for the kind of driving I do.  Handling is secure and not very exciting. The wind throws the car around on the highway. Don't expect the thrill of a life when you drive it.. its a boring ride but gets you where you want to go without worries and pretty inexpensively.
