I bought this car because I needed something reliable that got decent gas mileage for a new job that came with a 50-mile commute. I get 25+ mpg consistently whether it's highway or city driving, the car has good power, it's quiet, and performs as I expect an (at time of review) 11 year old car to do.

The car, despite being only a 4 cylinder, has a lot of get up and go. It has a low center of gravity and a wide wheelbase, so it is very responsive when you turn as well. I like that it has a relatively short front end and a small back end as well, so you really feel like you know where the vehicle is. The blind spots are small or nonexistent. I have close to 100k miles on the car and it has required nothing beyond routine maintenance.
