I have had this car for eight years. It's got 150,000 miles on it and has given me nothing but headaches since I have had it. I have had three major mechanical issues. The A/C compressor, some computer (electronic) issue that sends my abs, tires and something control lights blinking, and a handful of other issues. My cruise control got stuck in the on position which kept me from being able to brake and stop my car without me taking it out of gear. Some thingies kept popping out of the slot and holding the cruise control in the on position. It was a known flaw, but I was out of warranty when it occurred with mine. My hose line to my windshield wipers cracked and broke multiple times rendering my wipers as useless. My rear window has defrost glass, but one of the sensor things or whatever pulled away, and now half my glass doesn't defrost. A mechanic told me you can't glue it back on, you have to replace the entire rear window. Like seriously, my first car as an adult, and it's been nothing but one repair after the last.

handles alright, is comfortable and fairly fuel efficient. best benefit is lower price

My Ford Taurus was pretty good. It is very durable and comfortable, but was not the easiest car to maneuver. The car had a bad turning radius, which makes parallel parking, u-turns and driving all together more difficult. The car got decent mpg and is able to handle the rigors of city driving and road trips. I think that if I had the chance to re-evaluate my car decision I probably would have wound up with the same car.
