This car is great for trips back and forth to work/grocery store/shopping. This vehicle however is not the best for family travel or travelling long distances with more than 2/3 people. This car although very dependable: have had it since 2008, and has more than 90,000 miles with only 1/2 overnight visits to the mechanic. Have changed out breaks about three times. Other than this, no major repairs. I have driven this car on long trips, over 600 miles, and can say it is great due to the great gas mileage, however, in summer, it is bad for travelling with more than two people because air flow is not good. Back seat passengers can not feel air, while the front seat passengers are overwhelmed with the cold air. The knee/leg room in back seat is also not very good. I would also not recommend this vehicle for a family starting out, for car seats are VERY tricky. This is the perfect vehicle for maybe a college/high school student, young couple starting out, or perfect for a second vehicle to run quick errands with! After 7 years the condition of the car also visual looks brand new, both interior and exterior, this to me is extraordinary considering over 90k miles and the fact that I have had children riders all throughout the life of the vehicle. I have also had this car in snow laden Upstate NY during 6 winter seasons...Not a bit of rust...This car continues to be a great vehicle!

Overall, I like this car. Now the interior is pretty basic, and mine came with manual controls for the seats and windows. Nothing fancy on the dashboard, but really I don't need anything fancy. It performs well for a small car, having a little bit of pep to it. It gets good gas mileage on the highway, close to 40 miles per gallon. I use it for a lot of highway driving, and that is very good.
