I bought this car for $1450 as my college beater. It gets 21mpg in the city and 32-36mpg on the highway. I have put thousands of kilometers on it so far without a single issue. I love the sunroof and love that is has every option available. I am disappointed with the lack of power the 2.2 auto combination doesn't have. Also, I find the factory stereo system to be extremely lame. The trunk latch doesn't work. Overall I think this is a good, cheap, sporty little college beater car for someone on a budget.
