Fun, cute little car. Good for small family. Good gas mileage, handles well, even in snow. Has been reliable and hasn't had any problems. AUX port makes it easy to plug in my ipod and listen to some great music. Not a bad sound system for a little car either :-)Apr 01, 2011

Performance: not bad for a 4 banger, and the handling is amazing Build Quality: no repairs needed so far and it only rattles when i go REALLY fast Appearance: exterior is very pretty once i got rid of the pinstriping, interior has very cool red and black cloth seats Cost of ownership: great gas mileage--average about 30, no maintenance Fun Factor: for being a little four cylinder, it is very fun to drive because of its small size and excellent handlingOct 16, 2009
