I bought this brand new in the Spring of 2021. I was rear ended in 2023 (I attached a photo from the accident), and despite the fact that the vehicle was running fine and could be driven without issue, it was declared as "totaled" due to some damage in the rear frame. I kept the car and had a mechanic completely repair the framing and add a new trunk. Both before and now two years after the accident the car has run without any issues and has simply served as my commuter car to and from work. If you want a car that gets good mpg, is very reliable, and looks decent, this is the car for you.
That said, there are a few minor cosmetic and electrical issues I want to mention:
1. General Cosmetic Scratches > There are general cosmetic defects (mainly scratches) both in the interior and on the exterior of the car. The trunk in particlar has some visible scratches from when I had them replace everything after the accident, but again, it's all purely cosmetic and the car looks just fine.
2. Interior Ceiling Lights Don't Work > For whatever reason, the interior ceiling lights stopped working about a year ago. Weirdly, they do sometimes randomly start working again here and there, but they aren't working at the moment. My guess is that it's some sort of electical wire that's loose and may need replacing; regardless, it wasn't a big deal for me, so I never fixed it.
3. Trunk and Tire Pressure Light > At a similar time to the interior lighting issue, both the trunk ajar and tire pressure guage lights turned on and won't turn off. They remain on whether the trunk is closed or if new tires are added to the car. That being said, this issue does stop sometimes as well (i.e., they begin working), and when it does, the ceiling lights tend to start working as well. I think it's a related problem, but again, it wasn't a big problem for me, so I never got around to fixing it.
4. Left Hub Cap Missing > I got a flat tire about 6 months ago, and the hubcap cracked in the process. I never got around to buying and installing a new one. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm one lazy man, but at the very least I'm well spoken.
5. Everything Else > Having said all that, the car is in otherwise great condition. The A/C blows cold, the engine has never given me an issue to speak of, the car gets solid mpg (roughly 35 on average) and the radio and what not works like a charm.
