This car has been a dream since I got it six months ago. Even with more than 100,000 miles, it's given me no issues so far. The ride is smooth and fairly silent. It's fairly fuel-efficient for a car of its size. It handles great in inclement weather, with anti-lock brakes and power steering allowing me to maintain complete control of the vehicle even if traction is temporarily lost. It's not huge but it's roomy enough, as the kids and their friends can be shuttled around without much of an issue. I do wish it had a bit more storage space, as I need to rely upon a second vehicle for occasional larger hauls of various items. But that's the only drawback and not something everybody needs to worry about. The material of the seats is comfortable. It hasn't rusted much. The heat and air conditioning work really well. It's small enough to be able to handle tight squeezes such as parking at a mall during the holidays. There are very few drawbacks, but the tires needed on this vehicle are on the expensive side. All in all, I'd drive one of these the rest of my life if I could acquire them at the right price.
