Worth knowing
- 2011: owner complaints spike (153, mostly the engine).
- Rear seat and cargo space are tiny, and the CVT needs careful inspection.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the SV: it adds a power moonroof, push-button start and automatic climate control over the S. 2015 and later models gained a standard rearview camera.
On the test drive
Feel for CVT shudder and look for oil leaks around the turbo. Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: not offered in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: not offered in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
