122 HP 1.6 liter or 142 HP 2.0 liter motor. 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Front wheel drive, four seats, four doors. Starting at $13,995.
Is this funky little hatchback, which ostensibly competes against cars the likes of the Civic, Corolla, or what have you, cool?

It's pretty funky. But the back of it really puts me off. It starts off great on the front, but, eh. I think it'd be pretty cool to drive it around for a day or two... but not so cool to wake up to it everyday.
I'm walking the middle ground here. NEUTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Definitely cool. Very funky, without being contrived or looking like it's trying too hard.

I want to say neutral, maybe even cool. But, I know that as soon as it gets to american soil, a bunch of old people are going to buy it.

It's trying too hard to be funky, unlike something like the Fiesta which actually IS funky, therefore I don't like it... uncool

I saw one on the road the other day and it looked like a modded XD. Didnt think it was ugly or anything but "funky" and "urban cool" do little for me.
