This is a great commuter car or car for a student. I bought it several years ago and used it for my commute to school and loved the gas mileage, that it was easy to parallel park and maneuver through traffic, and that it looked nice. With regular maintenance it has handled the long miles well. At around 150,000 miles, 100,000 have been mine. No major mechanical issues in that while time. The interior is basic, but serviceable and perfect for what this is. An affordable, reliable car that looks nice and runs great. That being said, it doesn't feel quite as solid as it used to when driving, and has started to be noisier when driving - despite being cleared by the mechanic. The trunk is surprisingly spacious, but when I started having kids I couldn't fit their bucket seat style car seat in the back without moving the passenger seat all the way forward - which felt cramped and unsafe. If you want a car that will last through transitioning to a family vehicle, this is probably not it.

I love this vehicle and still drive it. I love the gas mileage that I get with it and the maneuverability that it possesses when it comes to parking, driving, and narrow road travel. It is very reliable, and I have never had any serious issues with it. It requires less upkeep than a lot of the sport cars that you see out there on the market. What I dislike about it is the space of the car, but that is to be expected if you are buying a small car. I think that it had everything that I needed for being a daily commuter type of car and performed up to all of my specifications that I needed that car to run at.
