This is an "exit review" as I just sold the car. I bought this car new in April of 2005, and drove it daily, logging a total of 152Kmi. The car had but one major repair in its time with me, a failed ABS sensor early in its life that was repaired under warranty. That one episode aside, it was unflinchingly reliable, returned good fuel economy, and had an astonishing ability to swallow cargo. It was also reasonably comfortable and capable of handling long trips without punishing the driver. It also punched well above its weight class as far as handling was concerned.
Averaged about 30 mpg throughout the life of the car.
