Worth knowing
- Cargo space is small and acceleration is leisurely. The 1.4-liter turbo can develop coolant leaks and PCV valve problems, so check for seepage.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target a 2017 or newer Preferred or Essence: the refresh added Apple CarPlay, and the Essence adds leather, heated seats and blind-spot monitoring over the base trims.
