It's a wonderful car, especially as a first car for going to college in (which is when I got it). But it's been great for everyday life since graduating. It's small, but still has plenty of space for passengers, or random art projects (I was an art major in college, and currently an artist). The gas mileage is great. I don't have to fill up often at all, and it doesn't cost much to fill up the tank. It handles very well, very tight steering, great brakes, acceleration is good (not like a sports car, but great for what I need it to do). It also has great safety ratings, and I feel very safe in it. It's very dependable and very rarely has any major mechanical issues. The engine stays in excellent shape, even though it has 200,000+ miles on it now; it still runs like a brand new car. No weird noises or anything.

The performance is great. The acceleration, steering, breaking are all very responsive. It handles very well. It almost never breaks down and is super dependable. The interior is nice and has a soothing feel to it (charcoal grey/black interior). It saves a lot of money on gas, as it gets great mileage. For a small car, it feels very roomy inside. It's very safe and has protected me from serious injury in the few wrecks I've been in. Only complaints I have are the parts can be expensive to replace on the rare times it did require major repairs.
