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.

Poor Fuel Economy

Sticker Stated a Fuel Economy rating of 38 HWY, 28 City. I commute 55 miles ad roundtrip to work on the Freeway. I calculate my mileage at each fill up. I am luck to get 29 - 30 MPG HWY, and 19 - 20 MPG CITY. The dealer states that there is nothing they can do to help me.
