This car never faulted me except for 3 warranty recalls:
Back brakes' lines replaced for fear of corrosion and failure in Canadian winters (no cost)
Rust proofing of cabin floor which required front seats and carpet removal (half day - no cost)
Last and most important (make sure it has been fixed if you buy one of these, because the car could suddenly stop!!!), the crankshaft sensor was replaced in 2006 (?) again, at no cost.
Best of all, it's very reliable and fairly peppy.
Gas consumption has been great with an average of 42 (±), with lowest at 35 and highest, 2 fills in a row and mainly highway, at 57mpg (Canada's warmer west coast)
Lower points: small outside rear view mirrors.
Noisy raindrops on plastics by windows or roof gutters.
Front windshield pillar occasionally hiding pedestrians when at crosswalks.
Very roomy cabin, even for tall people.
I like the higher seating position.
Would buy again: great car.
I have to agree with you about that windshield pillar. I have had quite a few occasions where I had to peer around it - I guess it's thicker than in most cars or something. It definitely creates a blind spot for the driver.
