This car has been extremely reliable
for my 250 mile weekly commute. Yes,
it's the most gutless car I've ever
owned but having the manual transmision
helps. Fun to drive (for it's class),
holds the road suprising well driving
through water on the highway. Have
been rear ended twice with marginal
damage. I get 31-38 mpg. Wish there
were more comparable models … available
as I'm getting up in mileage.
