Standard features like;
4-one touch power windows, Heated mirrors, Cruise Control, Trip computer, exterior Temp display, Tilt AND telescoping wheel, 4 wheel disk brakes w/ ABS, variable speed wipers with rain sense, dual illuminating vanity mirrors, front, side and curtain airbags, TPMS, DRL, Engine immobilizer, etc... the list goes on man.

These are standard features that are either not available or are parts of option packages on your typical super econoboxes like the Fit, Civic, Corolla, Etc... This car IS a bargain. It's not a Ford, but "Drive One" and see. I drove it a few weeks ago and my ONLY complaints were the lack of power, which I could live with and the gearing ratios in the Manual transmission which could have been spaced a little better IMHO. But neither will keep me from buying an '09 for my wife next year. Hopefully they will make the switch to the 1.4 liter turbo ecotec.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:53PM
