Horrible

This car was honestly the worst thing I could have purchased. I spent a lot of money just to buy it and then ended up having to spend thousands of dollars to fix it the next week after purchase. Although gas mileage was great I would rather have something that would burn through gas then this. It was not reliable and had a mind of its own.

test drove this car on the suggestion of a friend it was NOT at all what was promised, all the while the sales person is sitting next to me talking up the car, especially the warranty, but I don't think I would ever keep this car around long enough to even tap the warranty, it is dull car that has shakes and creaks new

Bought for value with features? Was leary at first? After one year of driving it and with a few long trips under its belt I fell in love with it. I have a trailer hitch attached and found it quite capable of pulling a decent size load. Gas mileage city around 23 mpg (imperial) highway average is around 35 mpg (imperial) Only problem I had is when getting gas filled up If the gas cap isn't turned tight enough the check engine light comes on and It's a trip to the dealer to fix it.Dealer excellent!!!

WHAT A DIFFRENCE IN RIDE,EVEN 4CY WAS QUITE COMPARED TO 626,BETTER HANDILING ALL AROUND BETTER CAR. WIFE LOVES CAR, STILL BRAKING IN. AS FOR ABS BRAKES,I HAVE HAD TWO CAR'S WITH THEM AND I WOULD NEVER WOULD BUY A CAR WITH THEM! TAKE A TEST DRIVE AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
