Yeah, that covers most of the issues. If you can find the Ion 1 without a sunroof, that will save you a few pounds and a source of a leak. (The sunroof isn't the same shape as the roof, so it relies on the drains more than other cars.)

On the plus side, it has plenty of power (even with the 140 hp motor) and I can get 40 mpg if I didn't have that nightly climb.
