 I have been driving this car for 8 months or so and it has lived up to all my expectations.  I skipped the sunroof and abs but couldn't be happier.  I only have roughly 6000 miles on it (because I work and live at a college) but I take it on road trips home (3 hours one way) and it easily cruises at 80mph on the highway with no problems.  The ride is generally excellent!  I would call this car a crossbreed between a Volvo, a BMW 3 Series, and a Honda Civic.  My friends are jealous that their cars arent as nice and cheap and thats the way I like it!
