It's a great car. Tinted windows and spoiler give it a sporty appearance, and the stock rims look nice with the car. The interior is black, as well as black seats so dirt isn't super obvious. Everything inside is very basic looking, especially the radio, which is incredibly basic, but allows for CD's and an AUX cord to connect a phone. I like that the driver seat has electric adjustments, which makes it easier for me. I love that the backseats fold down for me to have extra room in the trunk. I was even able to fit a bike in there without removing one of the wheels! I dislike the area to change gears (from park to reverse to drive etc.) as it is faux-leather and lots of crumbs/dust/dirt get inside and make it difficult to clean. I also dislike the cup holders in front, they're low and ... (more)
Story
One winter we had black ice happen overnight in Chicago. On my way to work in the morning, I didn't realize there was ice on the road as I couldn't see it. I went to stop at a light and the car skidded and I did a complete 180. It was terrifying, and luckily there were no other cars around, but the car handled quite well which was great!
Pros
I like the outside of the car, the black interior, electric windows/seat adjustments and the ability to use an AUX cord to connect my phone. A big pro is also the back seats folding for more trunk room!
Cons
The radio is too basic, I dislike the gear changing part with the leather that causes dirt and crumbs to get in and difficult to get out, the cup holders are inconvenient, and the car doesn't agree with cold weather.

This car is the longest lasting car that I have owned. It has over 200,000 miles and just keeps going. I have kept up regular maintenance so this could be a factor. This car is also very cheap. I have purchased this car five years ago for $1,300, and it is the best purchase I have ever made.
Story
I love how I can just cruise in my car instead of an SUV. I don't have to worry about it flipping over.
Pros
This car is very reliable. When I turn the key, I know it will start. This car is also great on gas, which is perfect for long commutes and vacations. I also like how many features this car has for being so cheap. It has power locks and windows and comes equipped with an alarm. I also like the CD player.
Cons
When you put the key in the ignition, is does seem to stick at times. Another dislike is the worth for this car. Since the car is so cheap, if I get into an accident, I may only get $500. The car is worth more than that to me in the end. I don't like that for the spare tire instead of a regular tire it comes with a donut. I switched this out right away.
