Transmission broke down around 56000 miles.
Engine occasionally overheats, resulting in a loss of power.
Cup holders not ergonomically placed.
Decent fuel economy.
You can run the engine hard as you want with no wear separate from normal wear and tear. Very durable.
Not real fast.
How can you label a car whose transmission dies at 50-some thousand miles reliable or cheap? Maybe cheaply made, cheap to buy, and because of the super-abundance of the need to replace parts, cheap parts, but definitely not cheap to run. I'd get pissed if my transmission went out after 200,000 miles.
