I bought this car before my first daughter was born as a new vehicle. It is hands down one of the best cars I have ever owned. It is small and fast but has enough room inside fro a full-size washing machine in the box with the rear door closed. Also, large enough for a new refrigerator still in the box with the rear door partially open. Needless to say, it was plenty large for my small family to start out in. It was not until we had our third child that we needed to upgrade to something larger.

The only good thing about this vehicle is the gas mileage. I average 24 city and 32 highway. The interior is ok, nothing to write home about, but will suffice for long hauls with frequent stops to stretch the legs. Rear cargo area would be adequate IF the cover was not a cheap piece of thin plywood that will warp as soon as you put anything heavy on top of it. And, I will give kudos that there is a spare tire with jack under the covering. Exterior is plastic and thin metal. I will note that the hood crumpled like an accordion when it met an SUV's rear in a less than 5mph accident - from a complete stop to crunch in about 6 feet.
