2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD
Nothing looks or feels cheap. Paint on the plastic and metal match perfectly. Joints are tight and consistant. Welds are very consistant. Materials feel thick and substantial.
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The fit and finish (materials, tolerances, etc.) are far superior to other hatches I test drove. The seat materials and comfort are amazing. Great upholstery for base option.
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD
The large doors feel really solid for example. The interior seems to be made of high quality materials. Nothing feels cheap in this car.
