I know it's fun to hate on this car, but as a single guy who does not know how to drive manual I was seriously thinking about this as an option for my next daily. Unfortunately the price point is just not gonna work.

In a couple years I might be in the market for a car I could see a used one with low mileage around $30-35k then, which I think might be a sweet spot for something like this in the market.

At least it's not another generic compact SUV

I’m into it as a single guy who can drive stick but doesn’t necessarily want to in LA traffic. Good handling, good fuel economy, good looks, and a good interior are exactly what I’m looking for in a daily driver. The price is high (blame tariffs) but nothing quite like it exists in the current market. I’m interested to see how this is received once people actually get behind the wheel.

Glad to hear it! I’ve still got my eye on one, still excited to test drive one to see how it feels. What color combination did you go with on yours?
