This wasn't a bad buy. At the time of purchase, it only had 14,000 miles on it. I used it mostly for short commutes (work, supermarket, etc.) with an occasional trip here and there. The first few years of owning this car were great. It is roomy and comfortable to drive in for long periods of time. But then the battery died, and I had to get a few tires replaced. The transmission started to act very badly as well. My mechanic tells me that the factory transmission in this car is not good and had to get it replaced which cost me a pretty penny. Other then that, the car is pretty dependable for what I need it for.
