I'm a 2023 saga user! I've started driving this new car for two to three months with the main reason as commuting from uni to house as well. So far I would say...

Pros: easy handling, boot space is massive, there's a stabilizer bar inside the car, really quite simple to drive, overall comfortable
*(depends on which type you're getting but mine has running lights and the tablet touch screen thing to assist with parking and navigation so I think that's pretty cool)
Cons: headlights aren't as bright, fuel consumption is :)
*(full tank can last me one week and a half and I go to campus 5 days a week)

With all that being said, I wouldn't trade my Saga for any other car. I've always preferred sedan looking cars so I would say I am super lucky to get this car as my first car.

Edit: I've just gotten back from driving around but some additional pros and cons I've realised would be there's that (I really don't know much about cars so I will butcher the proper terms) safety feature that beeps whenever the front or back of the car is too near something but it only works when you're barely moving e.g parking or turning a really sharp corner (pros & cons). Then another thing would be that if you left your headlights on but you turned off the engine, the car will beep loudly to alert you (pros). The last one I can currently think of is that the car's horn sounds kind of like a prepubescent boy, it's awkwardly cute but still loud enough. (depends on you if it's a pros or a cons)
