This old beast has treated me very well in the past 1.5 years. I learned how to drive stick on it and it is the greatest for learners. No need to worry about grinding gears in a new car as you learn how to shift. Shifting and the ride itself are both smooth. Tires are close to new, brakes are great, and gas mileage is great for a small car. Problems: -The bumper was attacked by a shark. -Small engine not great for getting over the malahat but she makes it. -The engine likes to eat oil. If you're driving daily it's good to check with gassing up and likely top up maybe once a month. I have loved this car. I want to pass it on to someone who will love it too.
