For a $20,000 car, this car has proven it can handle the harsh alberta winters as well as sleek and stylish as any other car in its price range. For what your paying for, your getting a good performing car, pretty good on fuel economy (around 7L/100KM city) as well as a pretty strong frame. The featherweight steering in parking lots is a really nice feature and the stiffer highway steering give great control. One complaint that stands out for an albertan such as my self, and would apply to any cooler climate, the defrosting of the windows is not very strong and take upwards towards 45-60 min. As well as the traction control kicking in when it shouldn't (not a make or model problem, just a my car problem it seems). This car is great for its value and I would recommend it as a great competitor to any other cars in its price range.
