326,429 miles and still going strong...

Got it used at 139,000 miles. Had it for 5 years and put over 200,000 miles on it. Some rusting and it rides a bit rough but it's a dependable car overall. Considering the sporadic maintenance it receives its still on the road.

Very good car, reliable

I have really liked this car, since the first time I saw it, I was determined to own one, I saw this one at my mechanic, and fell in love with it immediately. I have had it a year now, and still love it.
