Its funny because it is a slow car, kinda like a VW bug (old bug). If you can get use to it you can actually have fun with it. You can beat on these car and they just keep going. I think its the perfect around town buzz bomb and it can do the highway if you are a smart driver. Simple to work on. Changed my starter and didn't even have to touch the air cleaner. Love mine.
Everyone has opinions and experiences, you just have to drive one and see what you think. Thats the best test.
