"Better than listed mpg... 28/40, over the last 9 years. Extremely useful flat floor in cargo area, comfortable enough on long trips, great sound system, great visibility, reliable, and safe. Saved my bacon in an accordion accident where I was hit multiple times. Now in the process of looking for a new one."

"Bought my car used 3.5 yrs ago, and put 80,000 miles on it since. Only normal maintenance stuff...brakes, serpentine belt etc. Always starts! I love all it's little amenities...like my regular wall outlet in addition to the cig lighter one, the daytime running lights, and power everything. I love the hatchback and folding seats. Who needs a truck when you can throw any furniture, lumber...whatever you need in your car? The only thing I would say is it really isn't a super comfortable ride, but then again I drive a ton, and it is an economy car. Would buy again! I can't wait for my next one...with 4wd!"

"Bought my car used 2 years ago from Oregon and it has been worth every penny, even the cost to ship. Upgraded from a honda civic coupe. I am a student that commutes and I am also a nanny so I need great gas mileage and great indoor room for car seats, backpacks, bags of soccer balls, etc. It has awesome power to get on the freeway and get up to speed quickly which I love. It is everything I need (and more) and super affordable (hasn't needed any extra maintenance besides the regular oil change and such) LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I also get so many compliments on how "cute" it is. Recommended to many people and some have began their search to buy one of their own."
