 Car was purchased very inexpensively as a commuter scooter.  I needed cheap miles and this car fit the bill.  Only 8400 miles at the time of purchase but with hail damage that didn't affect operation. Issues have been easy to fix (relay module, tie rod end and vacuum hose) but otherwise no problems in over 100,000 miles.  It has never left anyone stranded.  Great gas mileage city or open road.  Easy to work on by a shade tree mechanic.  Now my daughter considers it "her" car for use at college.  I see it several times a year now and keep the maintenance up for her.  She understands the economics of inexpensive, reliable transportation instead of a fashion statement.
