We got this vehicle when we needed a vehicle fast because our last one died unexpectedly. We had enough money to pay it off fast but not to get upgrades on the model, so no power locks or windows. It has been a good car for us. Reliable, no problems with getting anything fixed. We keep up with oil changes and brakes, basic maintenance and have had no major mechanical issues to date.

We bought this vehicle a year after it was made. It had only 3,000 miles on it but had been in an accident that hurt its title. A company fixed and resold it. It had only one internal replacement and was mostly surface. We got it and have never had to replace a major part in nine years. To me that is incredible. We have replaced tires and a few tiny parts and oil changes. Otherwise, it had had no problems. I am able to tow incredible amounts as well for such a compact car. I love that I can put the seats down. I have been able to fit entire wood pallets in the car to transport to my house. I also one time fit an entire interior door in through the back to the front passenger seat. It has worked for kids, with three convertible car seats fitting side by side. Even then there is still impressive trunk space. It runs well at high speeds on the freeway and is easy to drive.
