Worst car I've owned

I had this car for 5 years. The two years that I had it, it was really good. The car drove well and comfortable but after those two years period, the car constantly had problems with the drive belt and mass flow sensor. The car is cheaply made and made ith a lot of plastic/aluminum parts that break easily.

Great Car for price, Little Maintenance

Owned car for four years, only problem was paint peeled from AZ sun. However warranty covered it and repainted full car! No maintenance complaints at all. Just regular oil change and air filter. Good gas mileage too.

Very reliable, fuel efficient and no issues

Nice interior space, good trunk space it has provided reliable service all this years. Of course I keep up with maintenance punctually, and I have and excellent return for the money. Planning to keep this car for a while more and I know it will continue to deliver. This is the definition of quality. The car recommends itself, as a coworker bought this model after seeing mine.

Excellent car for what it costs.

This car met all of my needs and was super reliable. I loved the CVT and event though it was the 4 Cyl version, performance was never an issue. Back seats are super comfortable and 3 adults can fit.

Best value vehicle I've ever owned

Best value vehicle I've ever owned....awesome MPG, stylish, fantastic BOSE sound, very reliable mechanically. My only qualm would be that it rides a little low.
