Bought last year for $5000 out the door. Gets great gas mileage (32 on combined surface/highway commute) has acceptable power for a 4banger. Looks good. I find it very uncomfortable on long trips. The seats sit low and have a deep pocket for your bum which means the raised edge hits your thigh and cuts off your circulation. A slightly firmer taller more upright seat would be so much more comfortable. The steering is a bit tight -can be jerky at high speed. The plastic insets (a/c vents, console pieces, etc) vibrate and make a lot of noise when idling at a stop or driving in low gears. Rides a little rough, you can feel all the bumps in the pavement
Fun. Great car to own.

I have had this car for 4 years and I have never had a problem with it! It's great on gas and gets me where I need to go does not matter where. I enjoy having this car and anyone would.
Love this car!

We've had this car 7 years and this summer had the first major repair, a new water pump. The exterior still looks new and shiney. We did have to have the motor replaced in the electric windows a couple of years ago. It is an extremely reliable car and we plan to keep it a couple more years!
Best I've ever owned

Bought this car new in Fall 2000, put 140K miles on in the next 3.5 years driving 140 miles a day, 40mpg. Oil changes every 3K miles. Nothing but tires and other routine maintainence in that time. At 9 years and 234K, I've replaced tires, alternator, 1 battery, brakes, struts, intake gasket. It still has the original exhaust even though a hanger broke years ago. Solid & durable for those who take care of their cars. Always starts even though it is always parked outside in WI winters. At my height 5'4" it has been perfect, but my 6'7" 300+lb husband, long trips are uncomfortable. Even now, I get 34 mpg city/hwy mixed. Replaced with a Subaru Forester, will miss my little friend.
