I am first off impressed with the dependability of this car. I used to drive the same model, but two years older, that would constantly have problems. So far I only have had issues with my current car related to a gas cap. The check engine light on this car is a little touchy. I think the gas efficiency of the car is mediocre. It can vary between 24 MPG and around 28 MPG. The cold weather of this winter has had an appreciable effect on the mileage. One good thing is that the heater works really well. It gets warm after about 6 minutes and gets the whole car warm quickly. The inside of the car is nothing special. It is roomy and the seats are sort of cozy. The looks of the design and layout are rather bland. It does have an extra fold-out seat in the front for a total of 6 seats. I have only used this 6th seat one time and I can't imagine that it would ever come in handy for most people. The handling of the car is a little stiff. I can feel that the car is struggling to turn a little bit and it has a wider turning radius than most other cars I drive. For the age of the car, it does a great job in terms of reliability. The engine comes on right away and is strong. One great feature of the car is the lights on the side view mirrors. They seem unnecessary but they really help when you're trying to get into your car at night. Also good if you happen to drop something when you're either getting in or leaving your car. It's good that this car is common because it is easy to find parts for it. You won't have trouble getting another part for the engine.

I am a college student who was looking for a budget car to run safely for around 20-50 miles/day. I purchased my vehicle in 2015. It was used and appeared to have previously been in a accident (broken glass inside the car, etc). However, it has been one of the most durable and reliable cars I've owned. I expected to require body work after I bought it, but it only needed regular maintaince items (brake pads, tires, etc.) which is nice. For an older car, it is high quality and runs efficiently. It rarely has problems apart from regular maintaince tasks. There is plenty of space for 2-4 people to travel comfortably. Overall, I would recommend it for those who need a car that's reliable and easy on the budget.
