Even as a used car, it was pretty reliable - it wasn't well built on the inside, almost a sardine can at full capacity, but it LOOKED sleeker than most normal cars. There was nothing exciting about the performance, but it only had to go into the shop ONCE in my 5 years of owning it. If you're looking for a smooth and safe ride that doesn't hurt to look at either - definitely should check this one out whenever you can!
