 After 25,000 miles the car developed 
too many squeaks and rattling from  
doors and seats. 
During acceleration, engine noise is 
very high. 
Extra gear and revised transmission are 
needed. 
Automatic transmission lacks finesse 
and does not compare to Honda Civics or 
Toyota Corollas. 
At speed does not corner well. 
Performance is OK, if prepared to high 
revving engine and increased (engine) 
noise. 
Disappointing fuel consumption for a 
1.6 liter engine: did not exceed 33.60 
miles/gallon even at 65 on major 
highways.
 In short: just basic transportation.
