General Comments:

This car gets great gas mileage. Very reliable... starts every time... runs great even with 103,000 miles. on it. Not the most comfortable car, but if you are looking for a car that gets great gas mileage and has low maintenance costs, than this car is what you are looking for. If you take care of this car, as with any car, it will last a long time.

I like the Highline version.. it is a lot faster than the original model.

People on here have problems with just about any car because they drive them like they are in Nascar and don't change the oil or fluids/filters. Then they think it is the car's fault that they blew a header. Cars don't take care of themselves.

Faults:

Blown head gasket at 40,000 miles.

New head cracked at 95k, never got it fixed because car is not worth repair price and still drivable.

Power steering pump and transmission went out within 2 weeks of each other (110k)

Plastic lining the windows melted and warped in the sun.

Trunk lid seems to be slowly sneaking into the backseat.

Trunk leaks when it rains.

Snaps that hold the door panels on keep breaking.

General Comments:

Awesome gas mileage - still gets 40 mpg highway and 35 city - even with the cracked head and no power steering.

Until recently, has been a reliable and cheap pizza-guy car full-time for the last 3 years.

It is the easiest car in the universe TO BREAK INTO. Seriously, you can pull the window out far enough to stick your arm in. (This discovery was made after I had been robbed)

The ignition cylinder went bad a month ago (130k)

The alternator went out last week (133k)

Faults:

At 101000 miles head gasket went. Strange way to go though. The oil actually went into the cooling system. What a mess to clean out. Headlight fogged at same time. Motor mount a few miles after that. Keeping tires on it seems to be an issue. Keep on getting puddles of water on passenger side floor back seat.

General Comments:

Likes car a lot.

Economical and comfortable for a cheap car.

Has made long trips well.

Although sound system is terrible and fan is very loud.

Faults:

Started leaking oil just after warranty ran out! Dealer said needs new head gasket and wanted $500 to replace.

General Comments:

Brakes squealed from day one!

Transmission didn't shift right and leaked oil right after warranty ran out!

Faults:

Air conditioner makes a squealing noise when on so I don't turn it on anymore.

Brakes went out the first year I had it, but I replaced them.

Alignment is always off.

Spark plugs broke.

Oil Leaked, but I got that fixed.

Brakes constantly make a terrible noise.

There is a weird rumbling noise coming out of the back of my car.

The blinker light will turn on sometimes when I push on the brakes.

General Comments:

I love my Jenny (my car name). I have had her for almost 5 years, and she has handled well. Despite all the noise that she makes, she has done well. I have driven many miles on freeway and have been lucky enough to not hit any trouble while I have been driving. The car has been pretty reliable for me. She starts up every morning, even when frozen. This is my second car, and I love her. After I'm done with school I will end up getting a new car, but for now, she is doing just fine.
