    I dont see the back seat as a problem, if anyone sits back there ever its usually kids, and the few times an adult is there its not worth paying a lot more for a larger car, the hub caps make no difference to me,, I dont like low impact because if you hit a pot hole they can be a problem. its the perfect car for me! got one in March 23. and love it. and super good video! best

    Nice review, but it doesn't make sense to complain about cost saving measures on a car and trim that's designed to save money. Some things just don't add value if you are tight on cash. If you have push start versus a key start, or steel wheels versus alloy... are you going to get to your location any later? you can even argue that keyed start is better since you don't have to drive with your keys in your pocket, which can be uncomfortable. Hard plastics are more durable and easier to clean... etc. Sometimes the fancier stuff is not a good idea.
    Now, no rear wiper, no spare tire, etc??? That's something to complain about. Functionality should not be sacrificed.

      The rear wiper thing I’ve found it’s easier to just clean the rear no snow here so no use for it anyways. The key yes plus you’re signal can’t be hacked and stolen at the mall etc y pop u it can forget you have you’re keys and jumó in pool and still works no battery bs more reliable down the road i think these cars was designed to last a very long time. In 2 3 years with all the savings when it’s time to buy tires just get 4 oem reproduction rims or salvaged oem rims and that’s all
