Has not lived up to expectations

The car immediately starting giving problems. The car would suddenly die or not start for no apparent reason. Agent would not replace, instead spent 6 months coming and going to the agent (most often with the car in tow) to fix this issue. Eventually something electronic (surprise!) was identified and rectified under warrantee.

Water pump failed barely weeks after 3 year warrantee was over and at just 11,000 kms (kms, not miles). Replaced at own cost.

Rear spoiler spray started matting and peeling off. Dealer would not respray under warantee, claiming that the spoiler is not part of the body.

Great on economy, but sorry for not getting a Hyundai or Kia instead.
