General Comments:
Received the car from my mother this year. She was the original owner. My Step-dad took good care of it and was very good at keeping up the oil changes.
The engine is very tight and powerful, even with 216,000 miles on it. I drove it from Colorado to Georgia and burned only 1/2 quart of oil. It really performs well in the mountains.
The gas mileage is superb!
The car has excellent high-end torque. It responds well to small throttle changes at highway speeds.
The car has a few small comfort quirks that are acceptable for the age and miles.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
