After 22,000 miles I finally admit to myself: I am in love with this car. At first I was I was a little disappointed with the gas mileage. 25 miles / gallon on highway is not that much. But this is getting better as the car gets more experienced. In average over 22,000 miles the car is at 27,5 miles / gallon now tendency rising. The reliability was not an issue. All I had to do was to change the oil every 5000 miles. But the best about this car is the ride. Smooth. The best car I ever had. Excellent cornering speed, quiet ride, and macho acceleration if needed. It is a small car, but for me: long commute, usually alone, this is the car.

Bought the car 2 weeks ago and been having fun ever since. Sporty looking and great driving. I haven't noticed anything wrong with the car yet - not even a dust blemish on the paint. It drives like my in-laws' Mercedes C180 Sport (German model): solid driving experience, just needs more power and low-end torque. MPG haven't been close to EPA specs, but I haven't spent much time cruising on the freeway.

This is an excellent vehicle for those that enjoy driving, comfort, and style. Comfortable seats and almost anyone can find a comfortable seating position, I am 6'4" and my wife is 5'5" and we both enjoy driving the car and find it very comfortable.

What a neat little car! I went down to look for a Taurus, and came home with a ZX5. I am impressed with the ride and drive for such a small car. Really a lot of fun to drive. I think it's the most comfortable small car I've tried. I really like the exterior styling.
