This car is a great car to start off with as a first time car purchase. Its very fuel efficient, getting me 37 miles per gallon on average and a smooth drive. I have taken five 2,000-mile road trips and it did great every trip. The outside is a little fragile though. I was filling up the car with gas and leaned against the car waiting to fill up and put a dent in my car from just lightly leaning against it. I would recommend this car.
