Favorite feature: |
I really like the gas milege and how the car looks. |
Least favorite feature: |
I hate the noises the car makes. When it goes 60 or above the wind whistles around the window. VERY ANNOYING! It has very little power and seems to always be winding out when going freeway speed in 5th gear. I get lots of recall notices in the mail too. |
Advice to buyer: |
It's a quick cheap fix, but you'll want something else in a year or two. It has some really annoying qualities. |
Detailed review: |
The car has very little power. It always feels and sounds like it is really stressed going regular freeway speed. I'm constantly checking that I'm not in the wrong gear. It also has a terribly annoying wind whistling sound as soon as you hit 60. I think it comes from right over the top of the window. The only way to get rid of the loud whistling is to roll down the window. This isn't always an option in the Pacific Northwest with all the rain. So I have to turn up the radio really loud to drown out the sound. I've also gotten three recalled parts notices in the mail since I've had the car. Always some new defective part to worry about. |
