General Comments:
I love driving this car. It is not sports car by any means, but when you floor the gas, it has a decent power. This is not a little car, weighing in at 3500lbs, so it does not handle the greatest. Fuel mileage is OK for a big car (8.5-12.0 L/100km).
You can fit your stuff in the big trunk, and carry 4 of your friends with you. I never mind letting my friends drive when I have been drinking, because the back seat is not that bad!
This car is a good all around car that you can do most things with. I love commuting and going on long trips. Best A/C ever!!
Also, a great car in the snow! Great for Canada!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

If you buy a used car, you save a large sum of money over new. That said, there are risks, mainly not knowing how the previous owner cared for it. Best to fairly pay an independent mechanic to check it over completely; his cost will reward you in the long run
