This model (manual transmission) is my real joy. Very few cars are so soft to change speeds. Six-speeds let you feel the speed when needed. Light and fast to take off. The interior is luxurious and well done. The materials are not high ended, but they look like they were. Great economy, I get overall 32 MPG in city. It has sufficient room for four adults to sit comfortably. The glass/bottle holder in the back seat is great; that feature really surprised me. It is easy to use controls in the wheel, audio, phone and cruise control. It works great in manual, as good as in automatic ones. The trunk is big. My wife and I are always getting stuff to do house projects and renovations; you can bend the back seats to house large objects, and you can choose to bend only the left or the right side of it. It has great visibility while driving and nice mirror sets. Lovely stability while over 70 mph (in Texas you can do 75 legally). The A/C is a beauty; you get cold in a snap.

I brought from a dealership about 3 years ago. At first I was a little skeptical because it was a used car but I couldn't really be picky about what I could and couldn't get. The car was looking shiny and new well taken care of aside from a missing mirror. I paid $6000 dollars for this car. The gas mileage was great I always filled the tank with only 20$ and it would last me 2-3 weeks driving back and forth from work. For an older car it was actually quite fast and I never struggled on the highway. During the summers the A/C would always keep me cool no problems there. The A/C is quite a gas guzzler though but it still did the job. During the winters the car would need to warm up for a good bit about 15 minutes. In the winters I would struggle with the windshield and windows just being completely foggy so it would be hard to drive, also ice on the windshield was hard to remove. The heater did it's job worked fantastic in keeping me warm. I would say the way the car is built is quite sturdy. I have been in a few minor accidents but my car came out unscathed unfortunately for the other car the damage seemed more severe. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and would rate this car a 4/5. Very reliable!
