I have been very pleased with this car. The fuel economy is excellent, 35.7 mpg. The car is very reliable. I have put 130,000 miles on it and have only needed to replace brakes, spark plugs, tires, and the water pump. I live in Wisconsin where the winters are very cold and snowy. The car is parked outside most of the time and only shows reluctance to start when the temps are below negative 20. Because the car has a low and wide stance it is very stable in the snow. The interior is comfortable. The seats adjust nicely and provide adequate support. My husband is 6' tall and I am 5'3" and we are able to comfortably adjust the seats for both of us. The interior noise is very minimal. I don't feel as if I need to shout over the car to have a conversation. All of the controls, both dash and center panel are easy to access and read. The car also has a large trunk capacity for its class. I can go shopping for all of my household needs and groceries and easily load it all into the trunk.

The thing that I like most about my vehicle is that it has been dependable. It gets me from one place to another without me having to worry about it breaking down. It is a basic car, therefore, I do not have to worry about computers/electronics breaking on it. I have driven this car for ten years and have put 120,000 miles on it (it started with 40,000), and it is still chugging along. I have never had problems with the ignition or the engine. One thing that I don't like about my vehicle is that there are no automatic locks or windows. It can be a nuisance to manually lock all of the doors from the driver's seat. Another thing I don't like about this vehicle is that it has a cramped back seat. When I drive my friends around, they do not have much leg room. An interesting/life saving feature about this vehicle is that it has a latch in the trunk in case a person was trapped in the trunk and needed to escape.
