"Purchased the car 2 months ago and brought the maintenance current with a new timing belt, serpentine belts, flushed transmission and had rear brakes replaced. Had one issue where the ground off of the battery was corroded and the car didn't start. This was a simple fix and I Plan on this being a good reliable car for a long time."

"Bought this car used a year ago to save gas. Wow, this thing is great! No repairs to speak of and it starts right up every morning. Runs smooth and rides great for a small car. I had no idea what a money saver this little gem would be."

"I bought mine for a great steel. When I bought it the car only had 37,000 on it and now it has 61,000 four years later, only thing I had to ever replace was the battery soon after I got it (aside from tires and regular maintenance). The gas millage could be better for the amount of hourse power it has. I average 21 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving. The only other thing about mine personally is I might want to replace the head light covers soon as they are beginning to look old and faded. My car is mainly parked outside. Its so nice to not have to worry about if your going to have a unexpected expensive repair bill. Make sure you do ALL of the recommended maintenance and this car will last you a good long while! :) :) :)"
