A 2015 Corolla.
Pros:
The interior is better than expected!*
It took me all of 20 seconds to pair my phone
Trip computer said I got 33.6mpg at 80mph on the way to work today
Cons:
* ... except for the seats. They are bolsterless pancakes and not very comfy.
The car is really kinda squirrely going down the road. It does not feel nearly as “settled” at speed as I’m used to in my Fusion.
OH GOD THAT CVT ... what a turrible, turrible experience it is. It feels like a very old, failing transmission. That sound ... it is the most distracting thing I’ve ever experienced in a new car. Total. Deal-breaker.
Verdict: I need my 5 year old Ford back.

That’s called the “rental car test.”

I actually disagree on all your negative points except the squirrely part. It gets a bit shifty when a truck goes by. The CVT: I dont have any complaints about the noise but I will say that it does have slightly delayed acceleration that kinda jolts you AND occasionally it makes the arm rest vibrate for a split second which makes me think my phone is going off.
