This car has a great build. It is very durable and has stood up to lots of challenges with me as owner. I have had this car for 4 years and I have an 8 year old son. So going back and forth to sports is very common for us. This car has withstood being hit by balls and banged by bats. The exterior has went through all this with minimum dings in the body. I have also had an accident in this car where I rear-ended someone. The other car was totaled but my car has very little damage. The body on it is very good. As for under the hood I have not had to do much work to this car other than normal wear and tear on a vehicle. I drive the car back and forth to college and to take my son back n forth to school and to sporting events. So it gets lots of mileage on it. I really love this car and would not trade it for another.

It was a very solid car. It had a sturdy steel frame, so I felt certain I'd be protected in case of an accident. It was easy to find replacement parts for. It accelerated well for a larger vehicle and braked easily. One thing I will say about the car is that the very first thing that happened after I bought it was that the child lock button for the windows physically broke off the car, and I was never able to get it back on. Fortunately, I was still able to operate all the windows from the driver's panel, but the child lock is permanently engaged. I've never been rear ended in this vehicle, but I expect the frame would take the pressure well. The seats are comfortable, but I do wish they were heated. The heat eventually broke, and I never got it fixed. Sometimes the heat will flicker back on, but most of the time, it doesn't work. The defrost functions are a lot less efficient without working heat to back them up. The car handles pretty smoothly, and I've never had an issue with the way it actually drives. While the car is rather large for a sedan, I like how easily I can see out of all the windows.
