The steering and acceleration is smooth.

The electronic dash is very useful and educational.

It comes standard with four speakers. I like that in a car.

It has huge boot space. Plenty of room for a sub woofer, or a kangaroo body, if you like that sort of thing.

Seats are the most comfortable auto furniture that I have ever sat on.

I bought the car for $4,990 minus Trade In, it was the best bargain I have ever seen!
