It's got style, it's simple while still offering plenty of features, has a great balance between power and economy, handles great, and the price can't be beat. It's stayed true to the form and art of the classic Japanese small hatch that revolutionized the industry in the late 70's. I just hope it's here to stay this time around.
Amen brother.
Like that interminably cute car reviewer girl said: it's a ''car car'' and it's about time. Still too much crap on it for my liking but i'm old school like that.
I've got technology gizmodry coming out the wazoo, invading every facet of my life and it would be nice to get away from it...be able to take a simple drive, in a simple machine (that I drive on my own) without being pestered to distraction and coddled like a freakin' newborn sucking on an Iphone 'til his neck hurts.

EDIT: although, for a second vehicle...I would like one of those self driving Google cars...
