This was actually my husband's vehicle and now it is my day-to-day work vehicle. It is reliable and quiet. I appreciate the lift hatch with the option to just lift the window. My initial experience with this car was using the window lift. Unbeknownst to me, the window shocks loose pressure over time and the window came down and hit me hard in the head. Ever since then, the car and I are at odds with each other! It performs the job and that is the most I can say to its credit.

Last fall everything went wrong with this vehicle. Despite careful, timely upkeep, it required over $2,000 in repairs. The differential required replacement, the timing belt required replacement and several other strange items needed replacement under the hood. These are items I had never had to replace on all the cars I previously owned. Not only does it feel cheap to drive, it has no lasting power under normal driving conditions.
