Very reliable no mechanical problem I’m aware of.

I used this car every day as a commuter car since 2018. I relied on it to get me to & from work & never once did it let me down. I bought it from an older woman who was the original owner. Never in an accident. Only selling because I have 2 other vehicles & don’t have the space

Very reliable and a smooth ride.

This car has never given me major issues, we’ve put some money into it to fix minor cosmetic issues and it has an updated stereo so it comes with an aux. Very reliable and a great first car.

Best value for how reliable the car is.

Perfect A - B car, runs great on the highway, and low cost maintenance. Strong engine that has lasted 200 + thousand miles from regular maintenance and good care.

Its a pretty good car

Its not as reliable as I would like. It always has o2 sensors failing, and the suspension system always needs work, and the ac stopped working as well But it is fun to drive, and the 6 cylender engine is nice as well.

Great car. Very reliable and good on gas.

The reliability on this car is amazing. It's awesome on gas and I'm not worried that my kids will be stuck on the side of the road broke down. Really great price for this kind of reliability.

Great Starter Car

The car met all my need until I could afford a better, newer car. Definitely worth the cost considering running and longevity. Best car to get for a new driver.

A great buy indeed...never had an issue.

This car was exactly what my family needed. It definitely made me think about buying a Hyundai for another future purchase. I always got compliments on the looks and the comfort. The ride was nice and there was never an issue.
