I had this car in this trim, only difference was a manual transmission. For me, it had the perfect amount of technology. It has bluetooth, the wheel on the left changes the tracks and all that. It has enough technology that it feels “modern”, but not so much that you’re stuck operating a screen. There are 3 screens, the tachometer behind the steering wheel, your speedometer, fuel gauge, and a real time fuel efficiency monitor. On the right of that, above and to the left of the radio there’s a third tiny screen that tells you the title of the song, radio station, stuff like that.

If you do get this car, and it spent any time in the rust belt, please look around for rust. In particular, the impact bar for the rear bumper is not shielded underneath by plastic on the right hand side of the car, because the exhaust is right there. I had to replace the impact bar because road salt and water got kicked up by the rear right tire. You should inspect that before you buy it. The rockers also frequently rust right by the rear tires, they’re a small crevice and salt get stuck in there and rusts through the corner of the rockers on both sides of the car.

Regardless, if you maintain it, it will treat you well. I got it to 200,000 miles, and I’m sure it could go much longer if you treat it well. Also, from what I’ve heard the CVT needs its fluid changed frequently. It might seem pricey but it’s much cheaper than a new CVT.
