Best basic car ever

Forget the memories of the cheap cars like the Yugo. This was the basic bottom line, no frills model on the lot. It has been the most reliable and economical car I have ever owned. I’m getting older and need more safety assist features. Our next car will be a Kia.

I'm not sure what people are talking about...

Our 2013 LX+ hatch now has 95,000km on it. I paid $9,000 CAD for it in 2018 with 12,000km on it, and it came with a brand new set of Nokian Hakk winter tires on rims ($1,200). I'm in Saskatchewan...brutal winters. I have spent ZERO $ on this car, other than oil changes, which I do myself, it's so cheap and easy. No oil leaks or usage, fully loaded with power everything, air, cruise, tilt/telescoping steering, heated front seats, and bluetooth. People that say these are unreliable and that you should get a Honda or Toyota obviously just like wasting their money. Great little car. I'll update when I hit 150,000km.

Runs great after 85000 miles.No major engine problems.Not much power for highway use,but will get you around safely.Road noise can be loud but all in all a good car for the price.
