I grew to admire this SOLID car

By Kristine (CA) on Monday, December 03, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 140,000

Pros: "great gas mileage; doesn't dent; very affordable"

Cons: "no power steering"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"This is just a solid, basic car. Solid because it's reliable, dependable and gets better gas mileage than my previous honda civic. I want to say I grew to love this car, but it is basic, and not much power going up hills. Everything is manual, and unfortunately no power steering. If you are used to that, this would be kinda hard to get used to. I've owned it for over 5 years, from 95,000-140,000 miles, and I was thinking about selling it, but because I wouldn't get very much, I'm planning on keeping it because it is such a good car. And, I'll probably donate it when I can't drive it anymore."

Sporty and Economical - but not too roomy

By Pacific Sailor (CA) on Tuesday, September 11, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 71,000

Pros: "Good Gas Mileage, Fun to Drive, Low Maintenance"

Cons: "Stiff Ride, Noisy Factory Exhaust"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"This car was a hand me down, but it has held up well and is one of the most economical cars I have owned. It is easy to maintain and there are a lot of aftermarket parts available if you want to install custom performance modifications."
