 We've had this car since it was new and it now has 52k miles on it.Despite what other reviewers have said, you won't find a car that has lower maintenance costs.So far, the only things I've had to worry about, as per the owner's manual, were oil changes and an air filter.That's it.Oh, and the battery went out after 4 years, which is better than your average stock battery, especially considering the Texas heat this year.This car couldn't be cheaper to run, period.The gas mileage is decent (35 mpg) and the power and handling are phenomenal for this class of car.
