 I've had this car 2.5 years and it has been as reliable as my Miata.  Warranty work has included a new battery, driver's side visor clip, and mirror covers on visors (I live in the desert and the car sits outside in very hot weather, so the interior plastics are very challenged on this car.)  Replaced original tires around 20,000 miles.  Gas mileage averages 22-23, and has topped-out at 33mpg (at a constant 75- 85 mph).  I am convinced this car will last forever.  The build quality, fit and finish is excellent (the "trunk" area could use a bit more attention however).
