The transmission sometimes doesn't go down to first gear.
The coolant fan died at 135,000 miles.
This car has plenty of pep for such a small engine.
Very cost-efficient and cheap to run.
Gets 31-35 MPG.
However, the seats are poorly-shaped and stiff and uncomfortable.
The stereo system has middle-class quality and has a slight rattle in the speakers when the bass and treble are turned on full.
This car is very good for a daily driver, but would kill your back on a long trip.
Funny about the seats. We bought the car because my wife needed support for her painful back. We have owned it from 2001 to 2007.
