How it scores for you10 scores
One of the last pure driver's bargains — 228 hp of naturally aspirated RWD balance — provided rear-seat space and fuel thrift rank nowhere on your list.
Reliability62

Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; its only recall was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +2 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs23

About $3,200 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 23% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility20

6.3 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 20% of other coupes we track.

Passenger space15

Strict 2+2; rear seats fit children or bags only, and the cabin is snug for taller drivers.

Driving fun94

The 2.4L FA24 fixes the old torque dip; universally praised balance and steering make it a class benchmark for driver engagement.

Tech55

8-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and digital cluster; EyeSight only on automatics — competitive but not cutting-edge.

Comfort35

Quieter and better-trimmed than the ZC6 but still firm, loud, and low; commuting is tolerable, not plush.

Value retention55

Typical resale value for a coupe.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
