 I have owned this car for going on 3 years and have enjoyed the reliability of it, but it is a very plain and quite boring car.  I sure did laugh at the people lining up for gas with their huge vehicles when gas was $4.00 per gallon and I was still cruising on the same tank I had for 2 weeks, however I do usually get only 28 mpg out of it which is less than I expected(lead foot).  I hate being afraid that I will not make it fast enough to merge.  The 1.8L engine is lagging and leaves a lot to be desired.  When the condenser went on my AC it was NOT covered by their extended warranty which was a huge let down and expense.  Overall this car gets me from A to B and starts up every morning.
