So cheap to run and all the modern conveniences.
A straight forward economy car to save money but it is very comfortable and fun to drive because it's so light. The gas savings at almost 50mpg are amazing.- Purchased a New car

Cool little transportation unit is this....
So, our 2nd c. This little bugger has wheels (a 2), is sandstorm colored, has rails on the roof (like you'd ever carry much on it) and is just a great little car to drive. Our other car is a newish Forester and we fight over who takes the little c every day. Avg mpg over 50, even with Maine winters.- Purchased a New car

Gutless and a lot of road noise.
Not worth the price. Don?t feel safe when driving in raining conditions. Unsafe in heavy traffic as it has no power. Difficult to get up grades. Big disappointment.- Purchased a New car

This car is perfect for me
This vehicle is a perfect fit for me, being a hybrid but not a plug in. The styling inside and out is great, and just the right level of features that I wanted in a new car. The engine is a bit lacking on highway hills but it's still ok for my style of driving. I love this car!- Purchased a New car
