Good little car all round

November 17, 2023

By David from Toronto

Owns this car

Ride could be a bit smoother, I has a pretty exterior good for city and good on the highway could have bit more power is 5th and 6th (they are a bit gutless). It has been reliable and cheap to maintain the tires are cheap for a car. great ABS and the grip in the winter and despite the fairly low clearance front wheel drive it can actually go though a foot of snow with a decent driver.

Great little commuter car

October 31, 2023

By Ness from Anaheim, CA

Owns this car

This fits the bill of reliable commuter car. It won't wow anyone, but it's light, economical to run, and bulletproof from a reliability standpoint. Look for a clean, low-mileage example to get the most out of your purchase.
