I agree with all of the above, especially the cockpit feel. i'm 6-2 200, and when I first sat in one it was cramped, but then I played with the seats and found I had plenty of room, and the snug feeling makes me comfortable. Maintenance wise the oil changes get to be a tad pricey, they charge me $80 to do, but that's only every 7K and if I did it myself it would be about 50anyway due to the price of the syn oil. I don't think that's too bad all in all. And yes the tires are pricey, but so are almost all tires today. Min 500 on my wife's tribute so what are we really talking about in the long run-not that much. Overall the car is a sweetheart and IMO the best value on the entire planet. I wish i could get another one. If mine, heaven forbids gets totalled, I will absolutely buy another in a heartbeat.
