Nothing can phase this car, period.
I have put 30,000 miles on this car in little under a year, with only changing the oil and that's it! I run the hell out of it too, but it stills keeps on ticking. Not to mention I spend maybe $100 in gas for the whole month.
I have hit a deer going 40 in this thing, and the deer bounced right off surprisingly, and side swiped somebody with very little damage done.
This car is a beast. It's only negative, is it's kinda uncomfortable to drive and it won't catch your eye, but it makes up for that in all the money I've saved in it.
I find it rather entertaining that people claim 30MPG on small cars and you say you spend $100 a month on gas (only).
I get 15MPG and spend $80 per month on gas.
I obviously drive less than you do, but I also cause less wear on the roads, less congestion on streets which is the biggest concern for those worried about exhaust fumes causing harm. Congestion equals sitting and idling.
Congrats on your fine purchase.
