The car had a newer engine dropped in.

I Love that it is manual car. I love the color blue. I hate that it does not have up to date features.

Free gift

My car was a gift from an friend. I have put a bit of cash in to the car but it has been very reliable and doesnt take much to keep it running. Parts have been cheap and it's easy to work on. I love this car and would definatley suggest it to a friend. Great first car for a new driver for sure.

The most important thing to know is that it has been reliable.

It's getting a bit older so has needed some work as of late, particularly with the battery most recently, but otherwise it's a nice car with a nice appearance

Paula B

What color is my car? Pea soup, and that is how pea soupy got her name!

My little car is an oldie but goodie like it is owner (ha-ha) and cute! It has a few minor flaws like a bit of rust near the wheel wells and is in need of brakes, 2 new tires before winter, but she’s really easy on gas and very reliable through the years!

I like my vehicles color and seats.

This model is made very cheaply but it gets me where I need to go. Also it very small but perfect for a single person.

Compact and fuel efficient

It's a wonderful small fuel efficient vehicle.i have only had it for a short time but it still runs well and have had no issues with any of it. Easy to take care of and easy on the wallet all the way around.

Shay J

A mostly functioning vehicle.

I like the exterior and interior of the car. It is not too intimidating like a lot of other cars, in my opinion. The brakes and acceleration are a bit different in the way that I have to apply a bit more pressure to the brakes in order to make the car stop and use less pressure to make the car go. A current problem I have with my car is the engine and the fact that all the door handles expect one are broken. It is a somewhat reliable vehicle.

Patricia B

Lasts a long time and runs great.

This car is 17 years old and has 146,000 miles on her, but she's still going. This has been a very reliable car and the only reason why I gave it a 3 is because it is starting to wear down and the paint is peeling. Also the back left door does not open, but it runs great.

Amber J

Compact but still spacious!

I got my car my used not brand new. So they day I picked it up I had trouble with it, not 20 minutes after leaving the lot. Since then it is been one thing after another; bad brake system, cracked manifold, etc. This is expected with a used vehicle like this. I have had the car 3 years now, I was a college student at the time when I got it.

Amanda D

Is fast and cute at the same time.

I am actually not a fan of small cars, but this is good for now. I love that it does not consume to much gas. It is very comfortable and love the space. The only thing I really think it should have is the thing that tells you the temperature of the car because I am always worried that it would start heating up.

Patrick M

The one .most important thing is the great gas mileage and low maintenance to keep it running smooth and long.

It is a very reliable car, that is great for day to day driving to work, and has done great on the 2 trips to Florida with no issues.It has been great, just requires the regular maintenance to keep it running smooth and without issues.Overall a very great car that get great gas mileage and can last forever if you maintain it mechanically.

Jody p

They're not making it anymore.

You don't list the model of my car. But it's a Hyundai XG350, and it's a luxury car. I like the ride. I don't like the computer system. It's buggy
