Zoooooooom

I bought this car new right off the lot and have put all but 11 of the 60,000 miles onto the engine. It was my first new car right after college and has lasted me the past 4 years with no mechanical issues. It has proven itself to be comfortable over the long drives from SF to LA and the AWD is great for heading up to the snow. The 2.0L Turbo engine has sufficient power to hit the power at any time and the transmission (5MT) is sufficiently responsive for any situations. Although it is a compact sedan, I have found the space in the trunk and rear seats to be more than adequate to fit 3 carry on suitcases despite having 1/4 of my trunk space sacrificed for a subwoofer. As I've had the car or a number of years, the paint and panels have taken a beating from everything the world can throw at it. Whether it's kids on bikes, rocks on the road, or ignorant shoppers, the paint and panels on the car seem to take an easy beating. I've noticed even the lightest tap tends to leave some sort of mark in the paint which is pretty frustrating. My biggest complaint though, is that the dash has begun to rattle in the past year. It relates to looseness in the plastic clips which secure the dash to the car and rattles over most bumps. Other than this complaint, I would buy the car again without thinking twice.
