I love this car. I have not had a bit of problem with it. The only people that complain are the ones that have to sit in the back. The only thing I would change is the color, I chose black and it is hard to keep clean.

I bought this car with my own money during high school. It seemed like a great car at first but over time I realized it might not have been the most practical vehicle to purchase. Let's go over some pros and cons. For PROS: the lack of seating prevents you from being the designated driver for events, mpg on the highway is roughly 25-26, looks of the vehicle are clean, and the trunk storage is alright. Let's hit some CONS: poor fuel economy in the city whether you speed or go slow, horrible ground clearance so get ready to feel like you wrecked your front bumper after going over normal bumps, curbs, and dips in the road, since you sit low, half the oncoming cars at night will seem as if they have their high beams on, getting out of the car can be an annoyance, quality of the car is cheap (with a quality sound system, the car rattles from base), all 4 of my motor mounts broke and the cost to fix it is 1/3 of my resale value, the transmission slips, it's a 4 speed so doing 70 mph puts you at like 3k rpm which just seems weird compared to other 5 and 6 speed vehicles. Also, the driver seat will be uncomfortable if you have long legs.. You can move the seat. Forward and backwards but the steering wheel can only be adjusted vertically so I feel like my legs are crunched up when I drive because I prefer to have a decent grip on the steering wheel & lastly, she is a FWD car. ON THE BRIGHTSIDE, the car has been one fun trooper. I've driven the car pretty hard at times including passing other cars (she'll purr for ya), done a little dirt driving, hauled a tandem kayak on the roof with a "soft rack" strapped on, and have just put it through a fun college student experience in general. She still runs hard with her broken motor mounts and transmission slips.
