I initially chose this car because it has a great safety rating, and was one of the most popular cars at the time I bought it. I have not been in any accidents in this car so I can't speak to how it actually holds up, but there are a lot of other things I like about it. The car has great style; it looks sporty even though it isn't. It's cute and easy to drive. The interior has held up pretty well, considering that I am not the best at keeping my car clean. At almost 60,000 miles, I haven't had any major repairs necessary.

This car handles very well. It is great in both city and highway driving. I really like that car accelerates extremely well in both city and highway driving. One thing I really like that was a problem in some older cars that I have owned is that when I accelerate in highway driving, there is absolutely no hesitation. This ability to speed up quickly make this a really great car for both city and highway driving. Although we live in the suburbs, we do spend a fair amount of time driving to and from rural locations (apple picking, berry picking, etc.). This car is also great for parking in the city. It is very easy to parallel park with this car. It has a fairly small foot print, which makes it easy to find parking spaces in the city. Finally, the this car gets really great gas mileage driving around town on the highways or in the country. All in all, I really love this car, and it is the second car I have owned from this manufacturer. If I had it to do all over again, I would buy this car again and again. This car is a really great value for the money we paid for it. I would recommend this car to anyone who has two kids and pets. There is lots of room inside and easy access to storage space in the trunk.
