Most reliable car I've ever owned.

13 years+ and still runs great. Minimal repair expenses over the years; at 160,000 miles and I bought new. No matter the weather, always reliable.

Perfect for a family that likes to camp.

I really needed a cat that would fit our kids and stuff comfortably. This car has been so reliable and the limited version is really nice.

Going for 400,000 miles!!!!

This car is awesome!!! There is no need to purchase a new vehicle and waste $500.00-$900.00 a month on a car payment when this 13 year old car is all I need!!!! I was very happy-no navigation-no bluetooth.

Best car ive driven in years.

It's a great car to pack up and taking camping. The roof rack feature is perfect for my kayak. The gas mileage in and out of the city is really nice.
