Feels like a good car. (I'm not keen on the "auto-stop" feature, though--it's a bit of a nuisance.)

If you go with it, you can expect the dealer to try to tack on $5-6000 extra for things like service contract, gap coverage (which you should get back if you pay it off early), tire & wheel protection, body paint protection, etc. So watch for that.
