I love my car. It has great gas mileage. I have had very few mechanical problems. All you need to do is keep up with maintenance and it will keep going. In the five years I have had it I have spent very little on mechanical problems. This car is a good size for single person, a couple or small family. We have used it on long trips and have been very comfortable for the entire trip. I also am happy with the pickup on this car. The only thing I wish this car had was a larger trunk area.
