Quiet interior, CVT transmission, leg room, head room, gas mileage.

Summary:
Alot of plusses in a small package. I have driven the car for 5 months and still marvel at the amount of technology in this compact car with a reasonable price.

Strengths:
Good gas mileage 25-29 mpg even with my heavy foot. Ample space and headroom front and rear for 4 adults with easy access. CVT transmission works well in city/hwy and cruises effortlessly at 70 mph. Tire pressure monitoring is a plus in a car of this price range. Good visibility doesn't feel like you are in a small car. Bluetooth capbility with VR (voice recognition) dialing is a must have if you spend alot of time on the phone in the car. Electric power steering is very responsive. Intelliget key is a very prctical convenience for entering and starting the car especially if you always have your hands full. MP3 input jack on 6 disc CD player.

Weaknesses:
ABS brakes not available in my trim level
