General Comments:

This car's been through a lot of hardships. It's lived outside for it's entire life, and abused by my brother's and by myself when I was learning to drive.

It is a really nice for for the money. My grandparents bought it brand new and took good care of it. When they died we inherited it, and it's kept us safe in a lot of sticky situations.

I would recommend it to anyone.

Fuel economy: 17city, 24hwy.

Very little has gone wrong in the 3 years that I've had this car. When I bought it in 2005 there was nothing wrong with it. In 2006 I drove it 4,500 miles across the United States traveling not having to do one repair besides oil changes. Since then only minor problems, a spark plug blew up once, valve cover gasket leak, The most expensive repair was some transmission fluid seal breaking, total repair costs were $800. From 2005 to 2008 today I would say, including oil change and tune up costs I've put about $3,000 in to this car and it's worth it.

General Comments:

The car accelerates rather slow even with the pedal to the floor, mainly because it's such a small engine in a full sized car.

The car is comfortable on the inside, plenty of room, I did 4,500 miles in about a week with relative comfort.

The MPG is very good on this car, I average about 31 miles per gallon mosly highway miles.
