This car was my first vehicle purchase, and I'm glad I decided on this model. It's reliable, easy on gas, and has had minimal repairs and replacements done. What has been done was of minimal cost, and parts were easy to find. The performance is above average, and has been a fun drive overall. For city driving, I have no complaints, and for highway driving, I have had excellent fuel economy - rivaling what new cars boast. Owning this car has made me seriously consider buying the new generation model.
