They neither repulse nor excite me. They're just there.

Easy on gas - tomb quiet - cruise control - auto - heated seats - and an armrest. I'm not hard to please.

I like it. Not ridiculous looking, a bit sporty.

I like it a lot but I lol'ed at the price. $27k?? It does have a lot of fancy features standard like lane departure and forward collision warning and the 1.4 turbo seems good on paper.
But I can get something better for that price.

I agree with Tastycake, I think a better car is out there for the almost $30K pricetag. I did like the Opel Mokka on which this is based, but I can't get excited for what's essentially a slightly fancier Aveo when there are better options for compact luxury.

My mother just bought a 2015, in metallic red. I drove it Saturday night....it seems okay. Some random impressions, in no particular order:
The fit and finish are terrific, though some of the interior surfaces feel a little weird, almost rubbery, especially the leatherette in the cloth-blended upholstery. The steering wheel feels great in the hand, though. The front seats are very comfortable, the rear seats are not so much. I was relieved to see it doesn't have a push-button starter like the 2013 Sentra she traded for it. It doesn't use a built-in navigation system like the Sentra.
It's fairly underpowered and rides a little rough, but it's quiet and the fuel economy is looking pretty good, at least initially. Instrumentation is easy to read (and glows a fetching turquoise at night), forward visibility is excellent. Rearward visibility kind of blows. Rear cargo space is pretty tight, though predictably excellent with the seat folded down.

#15, She's now had it back to the dealership twice to repair the air conditioner. So far, a new compressor, drier, condenser, AND hoses.

#15, She now utterly hates it.
In addition to not really liking the way it drives, the PCV valve has a 100% failure rate before 100,000 miles, and hers blew at 85,000. Replacing it requires the replacement of the entire intake manifold.
She's shopping around for other vehicles already. For some reason, she seems really focused on a Dodge Journey.

Or not find one at all.
Miserable, miserable car. But you *can* get a new one dirt cheap if you must.
