It's my first car too. Not too fast, not too slow. It's just right. It doesn't look like it, but the trunk is quite spacious. I was quite surprised myself. The car isn't a gas guzzler either, which is a huge plus. Only thing I can say I didn't like about it was I couldn't get it in black for some reason; the dealer only had blue available.

This car has great lines. After owning if for ten years, I still get compliments on its looks. The mag wheels are a throwback, and are aesthetically pleasing. The car has leather bucket seats up front which are comfortable. The car lacked room in the backseat. The trunk was adequate for groceries, and regular hauling. The car was reliable, and decent quality, with only minor issues in ten years. My only trip to the shop was for a pinion seal in the rear. While the car has good power, and performance, the gas mileage of about 16 mpg was a bit disappointing. The manual transmission was fun to drive. All aspects of performance met and exceeded expectations. The hood sat up high over the engine, and cut down on the field of vision to the front.
