How it scores for you10 scores
Quirky looks and turbo zip can't offset a cramped rear seat, token cargo hold, and a troubling record of CVT and engine complaints.
Reliability50

Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; its only recall was not rated serious. About 13% 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.

Safety50

No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs48

About $2,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 48% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility1

10.5 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the SUVs we track.

Passenger space30

Cramped rear seat and a token 10.5 cu ft cargo hold rank near the bottom of the class.

Driving fun60

Punchy 1.6 turbo and chuckable size make it livelier than most crossovers, though the CVT saps it.

Tech35

Small touchscreen and sparse driver aids; the I-CON drive-mode pod was its one party trick.

Comfort35

Firm, busy ride and a tight, noisy cabin with plasticky finishes.

Value retention70

SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.

Capability30

No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
