I enjoy driving fast, thus garnering tha names 'wild woman' and 'hot rod' when I am behind the wheel. This car has stuck with me every step of the way. We purchased it in 2011 with 69,000 miles. Currently in 2016 it has 183,000 miles. It has been a very dependable car, only being out of commission twice in the past 5 years. Granted it doesn't have quite as much power as it did when we first got it, she can still get up and go when you need her to! The CVT engine does dampen the power some, especially when starting from a complete stop. This was the first car I purchased as an adult and I have enjoyed it.
