Owned for 1 month... Most reviewers gush over this car. I did too and won't repeat other review info here. Suffice it to say that I absolutely love this car! It is so fun to drive. Paint finish was flawless, better than any other car I have owned. New 17 inch wheels are beautiful. Headlights are fantastic! I'll concentrate on the CONS: the new 2.2L engine is great but requires premium fuel and torque still seems low. New drink holder is nice but gets in the way when shifting. On the other hand, it's so deep, a 12oz can is hard to grab. Sound system is very weak, almost no bass, and no MP3 player! No alarm is included. Weird. Even my '01 Focus has an alarm and better stereo. Tranny still occasionally grinds in 1-2 shift, as in past model years. I know this is not meant to be a luxury car, but it wouldn't add much cost/weight to... Wish list: Better interior lighting, add alarm, MP3 player, oil pressure gauge and voltmeter, sub-woofer, variable delay wipers. Delivery defects: 3 scratches on dash, occasional 1-2 shift grind.
