Since I owned the car, it has stalled on me twice while driving. Apart from general maintenance, this car has given me very reliable service.
My point of view, this car is a very good car. Fuel economy is excellent, comfort is pretty good and it gets me around to where I want to go inexpensively.
Beware, this car loves to eat front brakes. I have had the pads and discs changed once a year since I bought it. Get aftermarket brakes to replace them, dealer service is very expensive.
The car is spacious on the inside. The front seat is set a little too low, but I don't mind; if it was set higher, my head would be touching the liner!
For winter driving, try to get snow tires installed. You're better off being safe than sorry.
Rear brakes have to be readjusted often. Try to get oil changes done regularly to avoid problems later. The rear bumper seems to fold even when it has not been hit.
The car has very good fuel economy and it rides well. Road noise at highway speed is intrusive. The car could use more power assist during parking maneuvers.
All in all, it is a good car which I intend to keep for a long time.
Just recently had to put up over $1000 to replace all the shocks and alternator. ouch that hurt my wallet.
To this day I still own this car with 136000 km on it, it is tough.
