Most reliable car I've owned!

This car has able to get me across Colorado and through college. It would start in the brutal subzero weather of gGnnison Colorado. Gas mileage was great, sunroof is the best of any I have seen (quiet and easy to use).

Great Little Car

This car is great with a manual gearbox. The handling is awesome. Although, this car is not so awesome in snow. If you buy this, I strongly advise you to make sure you have very good tires on it before driving in snow.
