This was a great little car until that mammoth of a SUV rear ended the poor little thing. Never had a chance. Luckily none of my kids were with me in the back seat. I never had any problems with the thing it just went and went and went like a good little car should.
The first year I had my 1997 Ford aspire someone made a left hand turn right in front of me at 45 miles per hour and completly totaled my front end. It was considered totaled. The good news was it did exactly what it was supposed to do in a accident. Deployed the two air bags and crumbled properly!
