| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Was a little higher than I wanted but got the Price to where I could go new rather than used. Payments at $200 mo. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Thousands less than other cars I looked at with comparable features. Was interested in a car with paddle shifting. Looked at Acura TSX, Lexus IS 250, Mazda 6 and others. Got car for under dealer invoice. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD | Nothing, but would of bought instead if I knew they were going to offer 0% financing a month later. |

| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The quality of the materials used in the interior is terrible. Paint is coming off of the black plastic interior parts, even when only using *water* to clean. Dealership says this is normal! The automatic windows sound cheap, as do the doors when closing |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
It feels like a solid car. I have only had one thing wrong with it, and that was the fuel pump getting stuck. It was replaced under warranty though. |

| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Its rattles have rattles. And those rattles have buzzes. It sounds like the interior is going to self destruct under low RPM. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
the plastic trim pieces around the doors and the arm rest area look and feel cheap but then again the car is pretty cheap to start with. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Well that is the same thing as relibility |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Not bad, better than my last Dodge but could be better still. |
