General Comments:
Good reliable car. Starts easily in the winter *IF* the ignition system is in good shape. And that's a BIG IF. :)
Performance is nil at only 98 horsepower, but gas mileage is outstanding. Very comfortable, quiet car. Good for long trips.
If care is exercised, these cars can last well over 200,000 miles.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The thing on the hood got ripped off the 3rd day I bought one.
