Good for the Money

This car has been super during bad weather. We bought it with ABS and Traction Control, so the car pulls right through snow and wet roads. Because of dent resistent panels, car looks brand new even after 85k miles. In manual, the torque is excellent in 2nd gear. The dealer gives you free car wash coupons every time you get something done (even oil changes).

I love this car. The only problem is a piece of black plastic that hangs below the car to keep the engine cool, it's easy to hit that on something & completely lose the thing (yes, I did do that).

Owning this car has been a joy. It's safe(ABS brakes and traction control) in all New England weather); it gets good gas mileage and it has never failed to start. We just never worry about whether the car will perform. It does. We have been careful with the oil change schedule and we follow the dealer's maintainence recommendations

Should've bought a Honda

My car was not put together well. There were rattles and hums from the beginning which is a bad sign in a brand new car. The interior is cramped, but I knew that before I bought it. The third door is nice if you are not parked in a tight spot. This car is not a sports car by any means and suffers significant body roll when turning. I bought the car because of safety features and it did hold up well in an accident with a 9 month pregnant wife. Insurance is cheaper than other cars in its class. Overall, I still wish I bought a Honda.

I bought one recently at a very good price. The car is in excellent shape, body is impeccable, mileage was adequate for year, and the motor runs and shifts like silk. I have no complaint whatsoever about the body style, motor, power, or reliability. Like one previous reviewer, I also think the hand brake could have been better placed and the shifter is indeed in the wrong spot. When putting a drink in the forward cup holder, you constantly hit it when shifting. Other than those two minor flaws, I give this car a huge thumbs up. It's six years old, looks like it came off the showroom floor, runs like it just came off the assembly line, and I look forward to many more years of fun with it
