Available only as an automatic, you won't have the opportunity to row through the gears as with a manual.

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"pro's great cornering, good pick up for a fully loaded 4 cyl, seats are hard but after a 4 hr trip, walked away with no pain ( have a arthritis problem ) have a lot of favorable comments about the paint, wheels and tires. Cons most cars have road noise but this car has ROAD NOISE someone at the mailbox asked if this car has a diesel engine because of the excessive noie. The springs are not forgiving, you feel every bump in the road however the pros outway the cons for me and will buy another one when the time comes"
