I always liked the looks,but I was most impressed with the space inside and the upright seating position. I'm over six foot and this is one of the few small cars with a sunroof where my hair doesn't brush the headliner. It seems that you sit up and can see lots of the road even though you are in a small car. The fold down rear and front passenger seat is handy when you want to get a few 2x4s home.
The fact that I could get it with a stick shift clinched it for me.
