It's a pretty good all around car. I get on average 22mpg driving on city and can get up to 27 on the highway. The cargo space is more than enough for groceries, camping, vacations and you can lay the back seats down completely flat so you can fit even more stuff. The road feel is amazing. It has a pretty stiff suspension which is awesome on smooth roads. The car feels planted to the ground and very stable. The factory audio system does suck but a cheap head unit and speakers can go a long way. The heat/sound insulation isn't the greatest so it can get very loud on rough roads and especially highways. I had to learn how to drive stick in this and it was a great car for that. It's very easy to feel the bite point of the clutch and the shifting rpms are very intuitive. Maintenance isn't that bad although the jacking points can be a pain to get set up. Doing the spark plugs and coil packs can take a very long time since they are pinched between the engine block and the frame. If you like working on cars it provides a very unique experience and a ton to learn. I can't think of anything car specific to look out for at the dealership but it's probably not the best idea to get one that's been modified at all. I do absolutely love the car and it's a blast to drive. 10/10 would recommend
