love the way this car handles. It accelerates quickly and takes corners effortlessly. There is never any hesitation even on hills. The ride is very smooth and quiet. The seats are comfortable, even the back! I feel safe in this car as well. The gas mileage is ok, it's not as good as it would be if it were an economy car but it certainly isn't as bad as the big gas guzzlers either. Very manageable. Even though the car is almost 10 years old I will have a hard time parting with it and getting something comparable for the cost. I will most likely have to spend a lot more money to get a ride as nice as this. I sure with they still made them.
