"An extremely well built car for very little money compared to others."
Pros: Handling, Torquey Engine, Great Interior Finish, Great Looks, has small great details that other cars do not offer and MADE IN GERMANY
Cons: Hard ride with 18" rims, american version has a higher ground clearance than the original german version resulting in extra body roll, stereo system.
Summary: I bought the car about two weeks ago and I am totally addicted to it. It is a beautiful car, very well built, feels very safe and has that touch and feel that only germans can deliver in their products and vehicles. The price is great when you compare the base model with similar cars such as the Civic Si. I drove the Si and is a very much inferior car for about the same money. The steering wheel is very cool, the fog lights come standard, the red line in the black grill gives an extra nice touch to the car looks. The ride is very quiet and the engine is extremely smooth for being a four cylinder engine and last but not least, the car is totally built in Germany
Cons
The stereo is alright, but I hate the fact that it automatically turns down the volume if the speakers ae going to be subjected to some extra power. The ground clearance is one inch or inch and a half higher than the german version making the car look a little bit like offroad and resulting in extra body roll that the original does not have. ( I drove it in Europe last year)
Is an excellent car with an excellent price for the base model. If you are getting the bells and whistles, you probably should consider stepping up into a higher end vehicle like and Audi or BMW.Updated
I just found out that the oil change is every 10000 miles!!! The first two at 5000 miles an after that, every 10000.
