- Fuel economy is mediocre, and early models drew many windshield cracking complaints, so inspect the glass closely.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EX: it adds leatherette, heated and ventilated front seats and a power liftgate over the S, without the SX price. Driver aids are standard throughout.
