The newest car I've owned.

This car has low miles and a lot of warranty still available. For a smaller car, it's got a lot of get up and go!

Best affordable car I have ever owned

This car meets all of my needs. It is great on gas, small and convenient for parking, yet large enough inside to accommodate friends and family. There are USB ports, power windows, a great stereo, fold down rear seats for added storage and it is very stylish both inside and out.

Newest and most reliable car I?ve owned

Nice compact car but still roomy. Love having a hatchback instead of a trunk. Great on gas. A perfect car for me and my little family.

Think we got ripped off for price

No window tint which raises temperature something awful. The huge problem is the passenger seat bolted to the floor and disabled with severe back problems.

Best looking and performing car for the price.

I've owned the car for a couple weeks and so far it has performed to my expectations. I haven't found anything that I would complain about yet.
