One of the safest cars around. Has vertical beams in doors as protection from side collision. Braking performance is outstanding
Decent real fuel economy. Mine got about 21 mpg in 100% San Francisco hills city driving. About 26 mpg for long trips with average speed more than 80 mph. About 29-30 mpg for 67-72 mph trips and combination of suburb and highway driving
I own the car 8 years 1 months. Beside regular maintenance items I so far had to change: Oxygen sensor, battery and 3 bulbs
