General Comments
This car is my first car, and I can say that although it is small and plain whenever i need it it always works well. I own the standard gearbox and it was a breeze to learn how to drive. I get about 27 MPG and the only thing that I've had to ever replace was a catalytic converter. Where I live we get a lot of snow in the winter and most of the roads are dirt. I took it to a parking lot last winter and tried to get the thing to slide. The best I could do is slide the car sideways a bit before it turned straight again. In the end, while its not exactly luxury, this car is very reliable and very safe.
