But the big thing, is it felt worse at everything. Worse turn radius, gas mileage, slower, the seats were uncomfortable on long drives, I missed having the dome light overhead, also I watch an iPad while driving, and put it behind the steering wheel. The '12 hadn't no place for it. It was also bumpier

It had much better curb appeal and the build qualify felt a touch better, but overall those things were enough to not enjoy driving it.

Why's the iPad for while driving ? Nothing but GPS or navigation purpose I hope ?

I'm glad you're safe, and I know I'm new here and don't want to possibly victim blame but I need to point out...

I hope this has nothing to do with your accident.

Honestly it didn't lol. I was for sure watching (more so listening) to a podcast while it happened, I saw her pull out in front of me, but nothing I could do. It was raining, she was cited, multiple witnesses saw it.

Wreck happened at 9pm last night, looked at a replacement at 1am, brought it home this morning.
2010 4 Door hatchback
5 speed
Manual transmission
Power windows, locks, cruise control
102k miles
Bought it from the original owner
$4700

Not bad considering the circumstances.

Thanks brother. I'm sour my high mileage contender won't be able to see 500k+, but I didn't die so I'm stoked about that.
