Made in Japan
It's got 233,000 miles and all I do is fill it with gas, check the tire air pressure, and add a quart of oil once a month, the owners manual states that it burns a quart of oil every 600 miles, so its normal no problem. Its fun, easy to drive, handles great, and has plenty of power. If it ever dies, I will buy another one.

Lovely Ride
Rides smooth, looks great, nice sound system, seats/headrest feel great, engine runs great. I recommend. Trunk is a bit small but seats fold down if you need to transport something bigger than trunk size.
