Can't say I am the biggest fan of that car, however this is based on renting it for a day or two only once or twice.
I'm a bit taller - by no means a giant, 6'3" or so - and I was crammed in that car. And it just wasn't really comfortable overall, even my wife mentioned the same thing (she's of average height). I also found it a bit harder to do a shoulder check (left shoulder) when driving as something always seemed to be in the way (ha, no not another car...but just the way the seat/window/etc was placed), and if I remember correctly I was not a big fan of the interface of all the stuff - speed, gas, etc.
That said, if you go and check it out and like it, I would say go for it. In the end its what you like and what works best for you.
