There are plenty of storage bins tucked away in nearly every usable corner of the vehicle, including a sizable one up front near the passenger's footwell. The center armrest/storage bin is nice and big, too, but it has two doors that open separately. At first, this makes about as much sense as Madonna's accent; however, the split makes it possible to access stored stuff without dislodging your co-pilot's elbow. It's a nice idea, but it doesn't work so well in execution since there are very few things that actually fit through the half-open slot.
The same goes for the center stack and the audio system controls. They look nice, but there are a lot of buttons in a small space. It all makes sense once you know what you're looking at, but the learning curve is a little steep. The navigation system (it's standard on the Sport trim level) is feature-packed, but it's easy to use and understand and boasts a large screen.
