I liked the fact that this car was small due to the gas mileage and easy maneuvering with parking and such. It was dark blue which suits me and was pretty comfortable in the front. The back was relatively tight in terms of leg room but that did not bother me personally as I was always driving it. It was a two-door hatch-back. The factory sound system was above average for vehicles that came out in 2006. However, I did have a major mechanical problem with it that went unresolved. The problem was after starting and shutting the engine off several times in a relatively short time period the car would rough idle. So when I was running errands this happened several times to me. I would then have to try and get home as quick as possible. When rough idling you have to keep your foot on the gas or else the car will stall out. So I had to gas it even when I was stopped at a light, stop sign, or in slow traffic. It jumps when you shift from neutral to drive when you do that so it becomes dangerous. The problem could only be fixed if I brought the car in while it was doing this, and I was not going out of the way to the dealer that I bought it from to do this when it was having these issues.

My vehicle is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It performs beautifully. Sometimes when I am driving I feel as safe as if I were in a tank. It is a standard transmission which I like because I can control how slow or fast I choose to go within the recommended speed limits of course. It has good pick up power. The steering and ride are very smooth. It has a beautiful yellow paint job. The air conditioning is ice cold. The heat is nice and toasty warm. The speaker system is amazing and the sound is great! I have never had a problem with the cd player and can use the radio too with great ease. For added convenience I have automatic locks and windows which have never failed me. There is enough room for up to 5 passengers. It has ample trunk space. The wheels are good. The ride is nice and smooth. I would definitely recommend this car to others if asked to.
