Overall, it has performed well as a first car. It was relatively cheap for what it was worth and has provided the benefit you would expect for a vehicle of this caliber. I would not recommend this car to everybody; however, I would recommend it to a few people based on certain aspects, such as its price and one's experience in car ownership.

This car has great mileage, and it is nice with how much my family drives and travels. However, we are always fixing the car and consistently and constantly receiving recalls for the vehicle and parts of the vehicles. While purchasing the vehicle, we were told the car was great in the snow. However, it is by far, the worst vehicle we have ever had on ice or in the snow. Additionally, only a few months after the purchase of the vehicle, the price of the car plummeted, and we are stuck with the car until we pay it off or it happens to raise back to a reasonable price. The hatchback of the vehicle is great, however, as it gives us a lot of room for bags, fun, and our dogs when we travel or go out just for fun! For the most part, it has been reliable. However, the amount of mail we have received for recalls of the vehicle is fairly overwhelming. We feel we have to take this vehicle in to the shop more than any other vehicle we have owned.
