absolutely love this car!
By Barb on Tuesday, November 07, 2017
I fell in love when I first saw this car. Traded in a 2005 Jeep Liberty with only 68000 miles on it. The quiet and feel while driving is amazing! Am getting 25/32 MPG obviously better than the Jeep. Would have liked an auto trunk lid, hard to maneuver with pkgs in your arms but plenty of room for groceries etc. I am not tech savvy so I am still learning all the things available on this car. Was leary at first about 4cl turbo but it has plenty of pep on straight away as well as mountain roads. Am a senior citizen and getting in and out is a breeze. Price and value I feel is very good - 1.0
Junkyard vehicle's
By Lisa on Sunday, April 28, 2024
They are a complete lemon. Way too expensive for repairs. Bad transmission, and engine. Interior is just cheap everything. These vehicles are a lemon waiting for something else to get fixed. Not reliable, and a terrible book value. - 1.0
I, wouldn't buy this vehicle
