 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Interior & Exterior Appearance...looks very much like an Alfa Romeo 147 (both done by Ital Design)

 Least favorite feature:

Automatic's notchy shiftgate

 Advice to buyer:

Test drive all similar models and then decide...Reno just looked and felt right for me.

 Detailed review:

Have two 2-seat convertibles and needed a car that could hold more...both passengers & stuff. Went to the Knoxville Auto Show and test 'sat' every compact from Scion to Spectra and the Reno ended up being the one that just felt right. Drove over to the dealer and took a test drive, decent power, but surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride. It would've been nice to have more power and better handling to match its sporty looks, but since this will basically be a 'city car' in useage it's more than adequate. Bought the car from the 'show' (Cobalt Blue LX) at a very nice price.
