I liked the gas mileage and the storage space available for a small SUV. It performed well, to my liking. Shortly after I purchased it, the brake rotors had to be replaced. This was keeping in time with the age of the vehicle. There is some space concerns in the back seat, specifically with fitting my child's car seat comfortably in the back seat.

My mom bought this car sometime in 2006-2008. She drives about 200 miles each day, to and from work, so she needed something with good gas mileage. She drove it until it had about 220,000 miles on it. She loved this car, then she passed it on to me when she bought a new one. Even though it has so many miles it's still in great condition. Obviously we had to replace things from time to time but you would have to do that with any vehicle if you drove it as much as it's been driven. It has this really weird thing in the middle on the ceiling which we named "moon light". I honestly have no idea what it's for because it doesn't give much actual light unless you hold your hand directly under it. I love this car and am happy to have it now.

The build quality for the car is not as great and one might expect, but the overall performance of the car is great. The turbocharged engine gives it plenty of power, whether you need it for passing traffic or if you want to have a little fun. The 5-speed transmission makes it a blast to drive even though it night be cumbersome when stuck in traffic. The stereo system includes a subwoofer and sounds great for all types of music.
