Author's Review
I love my car. That's about all I can say. I bought my car gently used. It's a 2001 model, but I got it in 03. I have taken it from about 23,000 miles to about 69,000 miles in three years with no major hiccups. I bought the car because I attend a small liberal arts college about 300 miles away from home, and I'm glad I did. Gas prices in our town are above national averages, and I love hearing my friends complain about how much they are spending on gas. If you drive the car right, it will be your best friend. I like the touch controls, except the screen can get greasy after a while without regular care. The radio power button is a little misplaced, tucked away behind the gear shift lever, but after a day or two it's easy to find by touch. I love how tight the breaks are, but it takes some getting used to right off the bat. Also, the steering is a little sensitive, but I like the feel of it when driving windy mountain roads. The car has good pickup. No, it won't act like it's got a turbo engine in it when accelerating to get onto a freeway, but it does get up and go when asked. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who wants to save at the pump, and not sacrifice the quality of their car.
