Love this car! stylish, fun to drive, great fuel numbers and frankly the best car that I have ever owned. I drove many small and mid sized cars in my 2 year search and fell in love just sitting in this car. Then I drove it and was hooked. Looked for almost a year for right car at right price and am so happy that I finally found her. I will never drive another. This is it for me. WOW!

Fun to drive with lots of headroom! Great mileage - about 38 MPG in combined highway and city driving for us! Very comfortable seats - good back support at the base of the back - good for long trips! Feel very safe - with additional side airbags installed!

Rock Solid Small Car

I thoroughly researched before buying this car, and fell in love with it after I bought it. I was impressed with the attention paid to details- side turn signals, pwr steering, mirrors, good headlights, a commanding view of the road, & a well-contoured front seatback. It really set it apart from the 3 Geo Metros I had previously owned, & the Chev Aveo I drove. I've put 73k miles on it, with only routine maint - tires, brakes, plugs & engine fluids replaced. The A/C hasn't failed despite the MN temp extremes, and it's ALWAYS started too. Engine has good pep on freeway if ya press the overdrive OFF button, & has good mileage-approx 31mpg overall. Has very flexible interior-can haul alot.

I just bought a Scion about a week ago, this car is great. It is my first new car and i really like it. The gas mileage is great. The car drives well and it definitely is cool, the interior is very nice. This is the perfect economy car.

This car is awesome. It could use more house power and built in GPS head unit, but overall solid built car. I get bad gas mileage because I am a teen who loves to drive fast. I mean this car tops off at 118mph, but its still great and I get about 27mpg
