GREAT LITTLE CARSource: MSN Autos...PROBLEM FREE, LOOKS APPEALING, MANY CONVENIENT FEATURES INSIDE LIKE A FOOT REST FOR MY LEFT FOOT FOR LONG TRIPS, BUILT IN CUP HOLDERS, LITTLE NICK KNACK BOX NEXT TO THE DRIVER SEAT, COMES WITH 4 CARMATS FROM THE MFG, VERY GOOD FM/AM/CASSETTE STEREO, THERES AN OPTIONAL PACKAGE TO PROTECT THE PAINT, THE SEATS AND CARPETS, AND THE VINYL FROM THE HEAT (I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CRACKING AND THE PAINT LOOKS WONDERFUL, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY WHEN I HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE SEAT). Cons: BEING FORCED TO BUY AIR BAGS Overall: EXCELLENT 4 CYL CAR... |

the sour lemonSource: MSN Autos...Cons: I hate the darn car all in all, From one month after buying it I have had to turn it in over and over for pretty much the same things and other odd things falling off. Overall: I have been trying to find an someone to represent me in claiming this car to be a LEMON. There have ben many times that the car would not start and by the time a tow truck arrived it would start, I was told that there was nothing that could be done because it was running at the time that it went to the dealer for repair, in the mean time me and my little ones are burning up in tripple digt heat. After a couple... |

Do yourself a favor and don't buy this carSource: MSN Autos...Poor Gas Mileage only 22 MPG. Poor Finish and Materials, cheap material shrunk in the sun in Florida, had to replace Windshield Nosles, Back Glass Seal, all trim pieces seem to shrunk in the Sun. Truck release broke off. Hole in muffler. Seats are uncomfortable. Glove Box door never has fit correctly. The inside truck release has never worked. Lot of rattles. Overall: I would not recommend this car to anyone. Workmanship is very poor. Cost way more than it is worth, resell value to very low. I have return for warrantee work about 10 times. The strangest thing is the outside trim pieces are... |

Reliable basic TransportationSource: MSN Autos...I have not had one problem except for the molding around the windshield coming loose on the interstate. 10 year/100k warranty. I have owned Fords, Chevys and Volkswagons and this is the most reliable car I have ever had. Cons: Resale value. When I purchased it, I needed a car badly and did not want to take a chance with a used car. Now that I can afford something a little nicer I am going to take a big hit trading it in. I owe $7500 and the most I have been offered on a trade it is $3500. Overall: This is the perfect car if you plan on keeping it and driving it til it dies. I would definitly... |
