I bought this car in 2003 with nearly 40,000 miles on it, from a well-known rental car company. It has been my ONLY car since then, and is now over 266,000 miles. I have, however, pumped a lot of maintenance in it especially the past 5 years; many things from transmission replacement (with a rebuilt one), to motor mounts, to A/C overhaul, to a costly pre-emptive timing chain replacement which may have been a repair shop ripoff and unnecessary; not sure. Also the CD player fritzed and won't play anymore. It's been hit once and a big tree fell on it once but both times had it fixed. The bottom line is, this thing is still on the road -- and with no sign of letting up. P. S. This car is an automatic, not manual.

LOVED my Sunny! 2001, very dependable. It was in good condition and had no issues other than the usual car upkeep. Unfortunately he lost his life. I survived with only a whiplash but alas he lost his. ( His frame was bent after being hit almost head on. I turned a bit to avoid accident and he got hit on front drivers side. 😞 )
