Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

This car was a dream first car of mine for a few years and being able to own one was... well- a dream come true.

Never had any real big issues with the car

I really enjoy the body style, comfort for driver & radio features. The engine was reliable and fun to drive.

Great Value, Sleek, and Performs at high speeds

Even though my car is 7 years old, people ask if it's new! Back seat has room for an adult but small. Also, visibility is poor for rear window viewing when checking traffic, so need to be very careful when changing lanes. Also, has great acceleration once the car is at higher speeds.

In Love

Bought this car used just last fall and had to put it away for the winter till just a month ago. So far so good! The car was factory lowered so I don't know how much of an impact that makes on handling. The handling and power are out of this world. 144,000 km and it drives like new. I love driving this car as it is so much fun. I know I have not had it long enough to really assess reliability but my impression, going by the way it feels is that this car is bullet proof. I love the way it looks and constantly have people coming up to me to pay a compliment. The power roof only flaw is the hook can sometimes go in and you have to lift the roof to bring it back out, this is very minor and I don't even know if it is avoidable. The only reason I gave a 4 out of 5 on comfort is that the seats could use a little more padding as they are very firm. Shifting is smooth and easy and the clutch is not overly heavy like I have felt on other sports cars. Of course with the roof up you have a limited field of vision so you have to be very careful when changing lanes or backing up. Overall the love affair is new and I want to marry my car :)

Amazing car!!!!

We bought this car in 2008 and still have it. NEVER gave us a problem!!! it runs great, great on mileage, it is comfortable, and solid. It is super fun to drive and considering its 2.4 engine it is pretty fast. The back seats fold down and the trunk becomes gets more spacious. Ive fit an adult bike back there. Ive also had two booster chairs with two kids in the back. we ride pretty comfortably. The stereos sound fantastic. And the interior looks good, sporty, the bright blue lights are really catchy. This car is a head turner, always getting people's attention on the road. I would recommend this car to a college student, or someone who just wants a reliable, safe, fun, and beautiful car to drive.

nice solid car

We bought this car for my son. It will be his first car and we felt that the stability and extra safety was important. He loves it and we are very pleased with it.

Awesome

I've owned one for years and love it. It's always been totally reliable, great for road trips and fun to drive. Fold down the back seats and I've fit in a 7 foot Christmas tree and closed the hatch.
