I bought this car because I was looking for something dependable, safe, and efficient. The reviews online that I found stated that it got 22mpg city/32mpg highway. I have never gotten close to either of those numbers. I drive two hours on the highway every day and average 23mpg. Not the efficiency I was banking on. It is a high mileage car with 120,000 miles, and I haven't seen any other major issues. I had to replace one wheel hub due to a faulty magnet, but that is the extent of major repairs. It responds well to hard breaking and it did exceptional during the Michigan winters. I felt safe driving to work after a heavy snow. Cosmetically, it is a nice looking car and one I don't mind driving.
