Don't buy this DEATH TRAP
If I could give this car all 0's I would! It is a DEATH TRAP! Do not put yourself or anyone you care about in this car. It is the WORST vehicle I have ever driven. It is UNSAFE and UNRELIABLE. I have been left stranded in this car several times and it doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it yet! DO NOT BUY!

A great little car for any money.
The original owner took good care of this sedan and I intend to do the same. This car is the base sedan, manual 5 speed and gets phenomenal gas milage.
