| Likes: | Smart 2.4L iVTEC 4-cylinder feels bigger than 166 hp on flat ground; comfortable seats with excellent positioning. Solid, quiet road presence with good handling. Ample cargo room. Attractive shape. Smart “kid watch” mirror in overhead console. |
| Gripes: | Rear visibility could be better. Engine feels smaller than 166-hp on any incline. |
| Verdict: | It looks like a Honda, rides like a Honda, and works like a Honda, which means you could live happily—and cheaply—with it for a long time. Though ultimately underpowered, even the AWD model gets decent fuel economy, returning 27 mpg highway. |
