Wow I really love this little car
Purchased just before Thanksgiving last year, I'm just rolling up to the 20,000 mile mark and will be taking it in for the 20,000 free maintenance/oil change next week. I've have no real problems with this car, there was something early on, can't remember what it was, but the dealer fixed it during one of the FREE regular service check ups. Free maintenance on this car for the first 36,000 miles, which at the rate I am going is less than 2 years of driving. But I don't expect that I'll need much other than oil changes for quite a while.
This little car is still very comfortable, still operating flawlessly, and is still turning in roughly 40mpg during my daily driving.
Did a round trip up to O'Hare airport on Monday to pick up my family as they returned from Albuquerque and despite the 65-70mph travel speeds much of the way, with the air conditioner running, I averaged 44mpg for the whole trip. Daily driving, which is a mix of rural and suburban, yields an average of roughly 39mpg for long term averages. Car starts easily, runs quietly and surprises everyone with its pick-up when you step on the go-pedal.
The bad news is that I doubt my daughter will be getting this car when she gets her drivers license. I like it way too much to give it up. She'll probably get the old Volvo and I'll probably keep this for my toy.
