 Comfortable for a medium built person, 
remarkably quiet within 60mph, has all 
basic stuff: AC, CD, power windows and 
mirrors, interior trim is well done. 
Took it on a 1600miles ride, performed 
well, 36mpg, however, becomes unstable 
and noisy at speeds above 65-70mph. The 
1.6l engine manual provides good 
acceleration, one has no problems at 
all merging onto highway, around 30-
32mpg in suburban comuting. It does not 
excel in any regard, but everything is 
done right, one can not expect more 
from this type of entry level car. If 
the reliability improves for the new 
2001-2002 model it is definitely a 
better choice than a 3-4y old Civic or 
Corolla.
