(55,833 posts)it is old and high mileage, only repairs so far are alternator and a frozen lug nut that had to be cut off (not car's fault AT all). it also has a touchy ac fan switch that seems to be a fairly expensive repair that is worked around by hitting/kicking the area of the console near floor on drivers side when fan doesn't come on normally. I think it is a capacitor that is malfunctioning. cheap part, high labor dismantling half of dash and console.
my main design gripe is black interior. too hot for the desert and shows all dust. wish it was grey. go for the plus model if prices are reasonable or at least get the back tray and cover and the front console insert. also highly recommend the name brand windsheild sun screen. pricey but worth it.
as with any new car, invest in a spare or at least a donut. don't forget a jack and star wrench.
