Seems pretty reliable so far

This car meets my needs, it has plenty of room inside of it especially the trunk. It also handles extremely well. I definitely recommend it.

Bought Used as a daily commuter

Bought this car as a daily driver to save miles on my Raptor. It was a great purchase and still drives like a champ despite having 108k miles on it.
