How it scores for you10 scores
Magic Seat packaging swallows cargo like a car twice its size, and famously bulletproof reliability makes it the thinking person's cheap car.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 11 recalls were serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +8 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $1,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 79% of cars we track.
16.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 3% of other hatchbacks we track.
Magic Seat packaging gives limo-for-the-class rear room and van-like flexibility from a subcompact footprint.
Light, eager, and honest with a slick 6MT option; more grin than its 130 hp suggests.
Available touchscreen with CarPlay from 2018 helps, but the cabin kit is basic economy-car fare.
Busy highway ride and pronounced road noise are the subcompact taxes; seats are decent.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
