I am the original owner of this vehicle. I purchased the car in March 2009 at the height of the great recession. I used the car to commute through heavy traffic for six years, 40 miles in each direction. I used the car to make road trips in the spring, summer and fall. I have maintained the vehicle religiously, oil changes, tire changes, belt, hose and fluid changes, whatever is necessary to continue good performance. I once owned a BMW. This little car is just as solid even if it is small and less peppy.

My vehicle is a small, white hatchback. What I liked about it was that it generally had good fuel management. I used to drive it for Lyft and after about an eight-hour shift I, at most, spent about 20 dollars after burning through a couple hundred miles. It also held up pretty well when I got into an accident. Someone hit the back of my car pretty hard, and there was barely any damage. What I didn't like about the car was the size. It barely could fit more than three people comfortably. I would definitely prefer to cut back on trunk space for more room for seating.
