You will probably see good review early on, but once this car hits 5k you will wonder if it will stay fixed.
Perfect car for modern day for a low price

This was my dream car as a child when my mom bought a gold loaded one in 2004 even sense then I’ve wanted one . Well now In 2019 I get my chance to get one for cash . I love this car it’s good looking , comfortable , good on gas , and extremely reliable . I work full time with Uber eats and doordash both , I use a new Hyundai for my primary but decided to give it a brake and drive the 04 .even with 160,000 miles on it still runs perfect and has given me no problems . I have already put 7,000 miles on it in 2 months . Just an amazing car the radio sounds perfect still all the buttons look new everything just perfect

This car is really great. it is a very stylish car and many people think that i am driving a Jaguar. This car is very well built. It can fit 5 people very comfortably. The trunk space is very large which is a good to always have. But my antenna broke. Due to the motor burn out. So now i can get the AM stations. I am curious about how it will drive in the snow because it has no traction control nor ABS.
Reliable, but has little else going for it.

Despite check engine lights, awful squealing from the serpentine belt, and a transmission fluid leak that prompted an emergency repair (shifts smoothly years later), this car has NEVER failed me. That said, there are issues. Constant rattling from interior trim pieces. Serpentine belt squeals despite several repairs. A headlight that is prone to failure. The 2.4 I4 has that wonderful combination of disappointing gas mileage and a deficit in power, and it shakes quite a bit. Handling is somewhere between Buick and BMW. But all in all, if you just need reliable transportation and don't mind getting the heck annoyed out of you, by all means get it. Certainly cheaper than alternatives.
2 hot 2 be stoped!

I love my Sonota. After trading in my 01' Toyota Echo, I had to get used to having power everything. Powerful 2.7 L V-6. Recived X-Type luxury for thousands less. I love my Sonota, however I have had to get my antenna replaced twice.
