Definitely at least sit in the other cars you are considering as cars can be a very personal decision. I bought this car because I placed a high priority on total cost of ownership, including fuel efficiency, mechanical simplicity/reliability, and practicality (hatchback). I can overlook a budget interior, a bit of road noise, and modest acceleration, although my manual feels peppy enough even on the highway if you keep the revs around 3.5k and up. I drive 20K miles a year so fuel efficiency, even compared to its rivals, begins to add up and was a factor for me.
I find the interior ergonomics good and have taken a 1,000 mile road trip and been just fine.
Most buy this car due to its pure value proposition, you will have to decide where that line lays with you.
I am very happy with my purchase, even if i do refer to my car as ''The Humbler''.
