Best Car Ever Had.
This is my third car to own and so far it has been the best. I bought this car used and when I bought it, it still had the original parts under the hood. Besides those changing, I have not had any problems. I love this car. Great gas mileage and very fun to drive. I get comments everywhere I go, on the third door.
For a small motor, darn good!
For a small motor, the car is nice. You really can bring out the HP after 4500 RPMs. But that will take away from the MPGs that most people want when they buy a manual transmission on a small motored car. All in all, i think that the car is fun to drive and is definitely worth looking at all of the other models also.

The best car EVER!!!
I have owned several smaller cars. This is by far the best. I bought it because my first car was an older model of the same vehicle. I was 16 and rode that car ragged and it still kept going. I have had this one for 3 years now. The only thing I have had to replace is the clutch on the a/c. I am not the most responsible car owner even though I am married to a mechanic. My car never disappoints me. I have a 2 year old and I never worry that we will be stranded anywhere. Unfortunately we are expanding our family so we have to move up to an SUV. If I could make this car larger I would never get rid of it. EXCELLENT gas mileage. I get gas about 3 times a month for $22 from empty.
200,000 miles and going strong
I bought this car new with 28 miles. I now have 212,000+! It's an economy car, so nothing fancy with the features. Replaced the usuals, but the front wheel bearings have needed replacing. The intake manifold gasket is next. Not bad for the high miles. It's a zippy car (4cyl, 5-speed manual), and the MPGs have paid for the car. Low resale, but not sure I'll sell before 300,000!
A Decent Kind Of Car
I bought the car back in February 2007 for my wife with 95,849 miles on the odometer. We drove it to Florida 6 months later and spent 100 dollars roundtrip on fuel. The only problems we had with it were a bad ignition coil, a/c compressor quit working, water leak(ending up replacing the radiator, water pump and thermostat). Otherwise, it's a decent kind of car but I rarely drive it because it's too small for me but perfect for my 5'3" wife. I have no complaints about it. We currently have over 160,000 miles on the car and still going strong.
