It's stale cake, but they keep putting icing packages on them hoping to sell a few. Saw one at the dealer's last summer with enough balloons on it to attract a cub scout troop trolling for arm patches.
And that's all she wrote about this rolling disappointment. Have driven 3. The auto felt best to be honest. The manuals show up the less than brawny engine. First one I drove was in May 2012 when they first came out. I was hot to trot. Not a remote chance I'd buy it though after the first quarter of a mile trudging up the hill from the dealer to the highway, cheap steering wheel in hand and bolts in a washer soundtrack. A less eager car I"ve never driven. A Civic was livelier around town. Far more so. So if I drive it like a chicken with its head in a wringer to get its handling point and experience the huge powerband from 6,000 to 7200 rpm, how long would it take for Sgt McGee to issue me a stunting ticket? Sure, there's a time and a place for having a real go, but 90% of the time you're going to have to drive it slowly in traffic. At that task, it snores (loudly) like a champ at a snoozefest.
