This car has always been good mechanically, I've needed suspension work, coil packs, O2 sensors, and exhaust work, but it has always been cheap to fix and reliable, someone rear ended me when I was stopped for traffic on the expressway, and totaled the car, I walked away with no lasting damage, the car took it like a champ, 10/10

Its Plain Jane

Our car has had quite a career. The first owner had a major accident which totaled it. Someone rebuilt it, so it has a rebuilt title. I bought it in 2021, for cheap, only because I could not find an inexpensive third car for our big family. In the three years we've had it I've had the heater blower motor replaced (very costly) and some other minor repairs done. But otherwise It's been really reliable. The passenger seat airbag has gone bad, it thinks someone is always in the seat. Other than the dash light, nobody would care. It gets great gas mileage and handles pretty well for what is such a basic economy car. The seats are comfortable and its roomy enough for trips of up to a few hours.
