I've owned this vehicle since it was new and have found it to be amazingly reliable. It almost always started, even on the coldest winter days (-20+ below zero). This vehicle was roomy and well-appointed, without being a luxury vehicle. Its handling was consistently smooth and had plenty of storage space. It was reasonably good on gas mileage. While there are certainly cars with better gas mileage, this one was not bad. It handled quite well in the snow. With good all-season tires, it could plow through 3-4 inches of snow with ease.

Built like a tank and cheap. Powerful engine. Spacious backseat. Comfortable seating. Decent gas mileage.
