IT IS A GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY.
No complaint. I LOVE MY CAR , THE SIZE, THE SMOOTHED AND QUIET RIDE AND I LIKE THE STYLE AND IT IS EASY TO DRIVE,
accountCircle Michael F
Comfortable car and is dependable.
My vehicle is great that it has. Sunroof and power windows and locks. It also is good on gas and has anti lock brakes. It also has all wheel drive in the winter for traction. The interior is leather and has air conditioning. It also has a roomy truck space. It is a luxury vehicle, it was built for comfort. It also drives very comfy down the highway.

I'm Not sure what I'd Name this
For most a car is only something that takes them from point A to point B For some others it is a status symbol For others the it's the rush they feel when they floor the pedal (more the horsepower the happier) For some others it's the sheer elegance/beauty/presence the car makes you feel (the looks), everything from the curves to the bold look, the vintage to the alien For fewer it's a way of life, earning a living, living in a car, going on road trips For the few that's left it's the history of the tech of how the current automobile has become comparing to its first ancestor, From how they changed 10 hp to a 1500hp using the very same basic principle to produce power. Of how the box shaped changed to a wedge shape body, of how the car has become to take care of you rather than the other way around, of how they achieved to develop linear acceleration almost equally to that of you falling off a high rise building, how aero has given you the power to drive inverted. I could go on but I'm sure you realised which one of them I am Each and every one has their own reason to love a car, I hope you find yours

This is a perfect family car.
My car has horrible alignment and stock issues. It is relatively old, so I guess this is to be expected. Besides those issues, I would say that the vehicle is extremely reliable and timely. I've had it for over ten years, and it is still in a good-enough condition to be sold.

Great car for consideration.
Great handling and efficient gas consumption. Reliable vehicle with minimum mechanical issues. Good tires from the original manufacturer that last more than 100, 00 miles. Strong chasse. Attractive sporty appearance styling that looks like a sport car.

Yes!! Its drives like a boat and never has given me any real issues. As long as I maintain the important things like oil changes tires and tune ups I really can't say it's a bad car.
