It is what it is
I have owned my PC2 for 6 months now and have put just over 7k on it. I purchased it to be my commuter vehicle. I wanted something simple, reliable, and efficient. The PC is all of that. My wife and I took it on a 1500 mile road trip and found it more than comfortable enough for two people and gear. The only disappointments I have with it are some rattles coming from inside the dash and I have not achieved the fuel economy numbers others have mentioned. Averaging 44-45 over the life of the car. This is a small complaint since very few vehicles can get that on their best day. *Note to residents of colder climates. I notice about a 10% drop in fuel economy under 40 degrees F.
Still love it!
Update after a year of ownership - still love this car! Love filling it up (8 gallons) every 3 weeks or more. Love that it is a piece of cake to park in tiny city spaces. I've now driven it on several road trips (college visits for the teen) and it was great. Apparently I've gotten used to the leg room as I don't even remember thinking it was less than ideal. I'm very happy I bought this. It's been 2 years. This is a great car. The teenagers have discovered that the sound system is great so now they want to drive it on errands and for pizza runs. And, although they thought the color was "embarrassing", it turns out their friends think it's cute, especially the girls. Who knew? I'm embarrassed that I love this little car this much! I'm an Environmental Science teacher and I hope I live an eco-conscious lifestyle, but having a family has meant driving a larger car (a Camry) for years. I bought this to replace an ancient Corolla, and handed the Camry down to the teenagers. Driving it is like playing a video game. Your high score is your mileage and you adjust your acceleration and steady speed to take advantage of the electric motor and accommodate traffic. As for the interior, I have long legs and driver's side leg room is a little less than I'd like, or I'd like the steering wheel to extend a little more than it does. I've put the teenagers in the back seat for short (30 min) rides and they are fine. The hatch is small, but I wasn't looking for huge quantities of hauling storage and the rear seats do have a split fold-down. I found it in "habanero", which is really orange and I love having the most cheerful car in the parking lot :-) And consistently getting over 50 mpg is so much fun! Once I got up to 76.1 mpg!

Reliable
I've had this car for 5.5 years and 78K miles. I would average about 47 MPG but since moving to Florida it is about 42-44MPG. I've replaced the tires once but no other problems with the car. The breaks are still like new. It has poor traction in the rain and snow and the wiper speed is horrible for downpours but it was cheap, bought it as a leftover after it sat for a year. I need to upgrade to a bigger car now with a child but can't pull the trigger yet because it is so reliable. The cargo space is quite generous when the seats are folded down as well.

Good Gas Mileage
The first only reason to buy this car is for the 48 mpg you will get in all around driving. That's a powerful reason but the only one I can find to own this otherwise bland car.
