I like the fact that this car has a modern-looking style and nice lines. The interior feels kind of luxurious because of the faux leather. The material is comfortable. It doesn't get hot or sticky in the summer. It can get a little cold in the winter, but the seat warmers heat up quickly, so it isn't really an issue. The layout of the dashboard and center console is also unique and interesting. I also really like that you can program the seat and mirror positions. The car is also a great size. It's small, but I always feel like I have enough room. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of space I had in the trunk. So far, I haven't had any problems with it; it hasn't been in the shop at all except for routine oil changes. However, I've been told that if it does need a repair, it coul... (more)
Story
My husband picked up the car for me from another state. I remember the night he brought it home. I was sitting in the apartment waiting. When he pulled up, I ran out to see it. I was so excited when I saw it!
Pros
The best thing for me is the appearance. I love how modern it looks, both on the inside and outside. I also like how easily the car handles, with its great steering, acceleration, and brakes.
Cons
The major negative thing is the fact that repairs will probably be expensive. It's also kind of annoying that the oil goes so quickly.

I like the simplicity of my car, it can sometimes be rough ( like in the city ) over potholes and stuff. Its a delicate car no doubt sometimes I feel like the doors will fall off or something like that because it not a very go quality car in its armor or parts. As for the parts and etc. they ant that much but can sometimes be hard to find due to the model but I am sure that is any car unless I had a Toyota like a million+ people have. Over all the car can be cheap on its gas and reliable as a work car going a to b, I wouldn't plan any trips with this wagon on wheels. But as I said it can get you where you need to go and if you are planning to be flashy with it I wouldn't show up to the car meet of course I would recommend going with a mustang or something like that. Could be a good car... (more)
Story
One time the car was going up this hill up by price hill and due to the way the hill was shaped the car couldn't handle it, so I kind of rolled down on me so I force the brake and had to stay there for a bit until the car past me from behind then gun it up the hill.
Pros
Gas. Reliable work car. Cheap parts. Easy car to work on. It's automatic. Good car for a high school student. Small and flexible.
Cons
Cheap. Not very flashy. Fragile with its overall build of the car. Can leak a lot. Runs rough on potholes, car can barely handle it.

1997 Oldsmobile Aurora - Almost a collectors item, but fell short.

The overall quality of the car is pretty well made. After 19 years, the exterior is in great shape as well as some of the interior and mechanical. The car has "sports car" looks and has a great and powerful engine. The car is starting to go, though, and a lot of the mechanical parts are starting to fail.
Story
On my first driving trip to Florida, the car really was great despite it being small. The kids in the back had plenty of room as did my husband and I in the front.
Pros
The engine on this car is great. Very powerful and reliable. There is a sunroof on the model I have and that is wonderful for summer days/nights. Seats are electrical when trying to move them so for such an old car it has modern features. There are heated seats as well to warm up the leather on cold nights. Also, there is a compartment that opens the backseat into the trunk for longer items that can't fit in the trunk alone.
Cons
Since it is older, many things in the car are starting to go. The air conditioning and heat only work periodically so that leads to issues in the winter/summer. Some mechanical issues are becoming pretty bad and the years of the car are coming to an end. The car also runs on premium gas which is the most expensive.
