"When I first got this car it had 156 miles on it. It had a bad problem where it would just turn over but wouldn't start. The place I bought the car eventually fixed it after taking it 3 times. This left a bitter taste in my mouth for a while but I started to like the car more and more the longer I had it. It is quite durable. The true test for me was I got into a 5 car pile-up. We were all going 55 mph and I got sandwiched between a Chevy Suburban and a Dodge Challenger. I felt NOTHING. This car kept me safe. Even one of the police officers on the scene made a comment about the car. They didn't lie when they gave it a 5 star crash test rating."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 70,000

Pros: "very reasonably priced and reliable."

Cons: "I did not get cruise control, but have not missed"

"A fun ride! Fun to drive and I have not had one problem with it. It is very similar in size and feel to the Toyota Corolla or the Honda Civic of the same year. I would recommend this car to anyone considering the Toyota or Honda because it is basically the same car but a lot more affordable. I get around 35 miles to the gallon in the city."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 96,000

"I have owned this car for almost 7 years now and can tell you that I have owned better and worse. It has a lot of little things that bother me about it. The paint is horrible and starts fading and flaking as soon as the warranty ran out. The electrical started having problems about 6months after that warranty went out. It is also an expensive car to get worked on.. Cheap on the front end but expensive on the back end."
