One of my best decisions.

Bought one 4 years ago, very reliable. Not over-computerized, the only "smart" feature is the ABS, therefore you can enjoy the real driving. Exceptional steering capabilities, replace parts are not expensive. However I am the 3rd owner, the manufacturer reached me via the government for a recall which I highly appreciate.

Not My First Choice

I needed a car to drive to work ar night. Eventually, I ended up drivivg TX to OH, and had no problems along the way. This was not my first choice or even the second. It was all I could afford when I purchased it, used in 2010. It is comfortable, reliable, and great on gas. I don't even remember what my first choices were, but am delighted to this day, that my Baby never fails me, even now in 2020.
