 Favorite feature:

Love the dash lights & that you can keep them on without outside lights on.

 Least favorite feature:

Radio has no adjustment for bass/treble/speakers

 Advice to buyer:

If you like a lot of speed, find another car. But I don't consider this one slow.

 Detailed review:

I was surprised at how many anti-theft devices are on the car. With keyless remote, if car is broke into, the starter will not engage. Without the coded key,no other key will work and if column is broke and is hot wired,fuel pump will not work. Windows are etched with vin number and radio also will not work if taken from the car without a code programed into it that is assigned to that radio. Car has enough power for us, but maybe not enough power for more of the younger people that want a lot of get up and go. Car has power windows/door locks, automatic transmission, adjustable steering wheel and cruise control.Seats are contoured to give you good support, great for going longer distances. Also has a right side arm rest/storage bin ( A must for any car I buy) Floor mats are full length front and back. Rear seat backs can be folded down (are also locked with a key) Car is fairly quiet although you do get some tire noise coming through. Four way flashers are mounted in the center of the dash, making them easy to get to. Has two cup holders and a covered CD holder for your CD/AM/FM radio. Car is fairly smooth riding for a small car and handles nice on the highway even with a small cross wind. (Haven't had it in the mountains yet.) A/C seems to do a good job up to the high 90's. Takes a little longer in our Arizona 105-110 temp. though. I was also surprised at the longer times that I needed to service this car. Tune up, change anti freeze, timing belt, all over 100,000 miles. Oil change, 5 or 10 thousand miles depending on conditions. Many things are much longer than they use to be.Should save you a lot of money servicing the car. So far, I like the car a lot, if your not a speed nut, I think you will too.
