My leather seats still look as good as they did when I first got the car.
The performance of my car is better great,I do not have any problems starting the car and the features work as they both suppose to. I have had the same pant shop since I purchased it, no chipping or peeling. My mileage is better good too. The inside still looks really good and there is no damage to the leather seats.

Fast and smooth. Feels like you are driving nothing.
The car drives very well, only time I take it into the shop is for an oil change when it is needed. It is a smooth ride and I really enjoy my car. Very glad I made the purchase. It performs well in almost any condition except for snow since it is not 4 wheel drive.

Great handling, Gas Could be better!
Great handling with a classic design. One thing I wish differed was better gas mileage. I only get about 17 miles per gallon in the city.
