In MA, it basically has to be a cream puff, everything should work or it will need to be fixed. Dealers can't sell a car as-is in this state unless it's under a certain amount and this one doesn't qualify. Used car warranty is at least 30 days up to 90 days depending on mileage. In this case, just 30 days as it's over 80k in mileage. Anything that affects use or safety is covered, so if you can't use the trunk closer, it's covered. If the dealer denies coverage, you can sue them and your 30 day warranty clock stops ticking once you're denied coverage. That's why it's in their best interest to fix it so the clock runs out, days in the shop also don't count. It's a really good warranty if you read it, didn't even know it was that good til I had a problem and then printed it out and showed it to the general manager and that's when he didn't even argue and agreed to fix my problems.

I didn't get mine for status, I just enjoy all the gadgets it has, even the sorta pointless ones like the headlamp washers, it's just enjoyable to drive. Way too easy to get distracted though. Actually sometimes people stare at me and I start to wonder why they're looking, then I realize oh yeah, the car. That why I feel the OP should keep looking, it's sort of a bare bones car, not a lot of good options. Keyless go and bixenons are neat, I have the active curve illumination so you can see the headlamps turn a little when turning the steering wheel. The newer models have even more gadgets, blind spot assist, lane keeping assist, adaptive high beam assist, power folding side mirrors, brake assist, collision assist, attention assist etc., but I'll wait a bit til they come down a bit more.
