This car has stood up well to the past 5 years I have owned it. Very little rattling on the inside, the interior is solid, with pleasant lines and design. I have never had to replace any components on the inside or on the engine for that matter. It consistently get great gas mileage, even when I miss my oil changes by 2,000 miles. Its acceleration is wonderful and the steering is tight, it takes corners well. I have driven over 30,000 miles since I have owned the car, and I have yet to have brake work done. It has fantastic performance and very little required maintenance, and everyone knows maintenance schedules on used vehicles can be devastating to a budget.

Car is incredibly reliable and spacious for how small it looks. It drives well and hasn't broken down once since I've had it. I have driven great distances and over many roads, and the car always feels very safe. Even though it is front-wheel drive, it is very easy to handle and even drives well in snow. It also gets great gas mileage, which was a huge selling point for me. It is also an automatic (as most newer cars are). So, that is also great.
