 Pros: Cheap. Lots of interior space and head room.Good on gas. Actually did well in a freeway accident with a dump-truck.Cons: Very small and poor breaks (never balanced properly between front a rear causing rear breaks to lock up way before the fronts) Really scary in slippery conditions.poor handling (both body roll, and the suspension wore out quickly).Transmission (manual) would clunk or grind into gears between 1st and 2nd gear.Water leak into trunk which was found under warranty but they failed to fix it twice. Then the warranty expired and they said that I would have to pay for it. They did end up fixing it for free, but not without a fight.
