 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Cabin/trunk room.

 Least favorite feature:

Front end tends to 'Bottom out' and scrape easier than should.

 Advice to buyer:

Good dollar value car. Not as pretty as some other cars.

 Detailed review:

I have not much to say about this car that I do not like. It is a pretty damn good car. The reviews say it, most people say it. Although, the car seems to skip/bounce over waffled asphalt. Perhaps because of the wide tires(that aren't cheap to replace). The last car I had used 205/70/15 and handled nicely, and were not painful on the wallet The 'other' complaint is the parking brake. It is too close to the driver's door/spreaker. I'll probably learn over time to not scrape the speaker cover but, in such an otherwise well thought out car, you would think this would have been fixed. All that said, I like the car. Wife calls it an old mans car(I'm just turnin' 40, so does it fit?). And what is wrong with a car that is EASY to drive.
