Great little car. Not the fastest, not the prettiest, not the biggest, but it is always a dependable means of transportation. The inexpensive cars a design for daily use in commuting. They perform there tasks very well. Mine started out as a program car and was then placed on a rural mail route, by my Mom, with 75 miles of mostly dirt roads. If you just keep these little guys serviced and do your routine maintenance, your will get years of loyal service. I am currently showing 178,000 and would take it anywhere.

Pros — gas mileage, inexpensive, dependable
Cons — Not to sporty, kind of small

Its an overall great car have no problems with it, bought it in april with 250000kms on it already, it now has 283000 and never spent a cent on the engine. It also have almost no rust at all on it. It has pretty good pick up for a 1.8L 4 door sedan. Braking system works good, only thing i payed to do to it so far was putting a donut gasket on the exhaust. The interior is in pretty good shape, and the exterior is also in great shape just alot of chips in the paint on the hood, fenders and bumpers from highway driving. The cost to own it is little to none, basically all i pay for is gas and oil for oil changes. It gets great gas mileage around 40mpg and i enjoy driving it and it is pretty fun to drive for a family car

Pros — Easy on gas, Extremly reliable, Great styleing, fun to drive, low expense to drive
Cons — Storage door in the interior broke, Needs struts/shocks, needs a emissions control box

Performance: It's a simple little car and she runs well. You can't do anything crazy with her, but I enjoy driving her. Amazing turning radius.
Build Quality: The only work I've ever had to do on her is typical maintenance (she's at 113K right now).
Appearance: Nothing amazing, but still cute. Get one with a spoiler!
Cost of ownership: She gets 25-31 mpg and low maintenance costs, nearly $0 in repairs.

I think this is a great car for anybody that wants something simple and dependable.

Pros — Good MPG, low maintenance, dependable, great turning radius, inexpensive
Cons — Everybody else loves them too so you see them everywhere

The thing i love most about this car is that reliable.
Even now 7 years later, still works with out a glitch
and we have yet to do any major repairs. The
biggest problem that i've had with the car is when  
a squirrel built a nest in the radiator grill. Its a 1.4
Ltr Petrol engine. Does 0-60 mph in bout 6-7
seconds. Nothin fancy but the reliability and
comfort is spot on for any car in its class. And it
isnt expensive either. Once i start college i hope to
trick it out with sum after market parts.

Brakes extremely well. Wont take coners at 100
mph but it handles quite well. Its a decent looking
car and looks even better with a body kit.

Pros — Reliable, Roomy,Quiet, Good gas mileage (13 km per litre), realatvly fun to drive
Cons — Not exactly a head turner without a bodykit and custom paint job

All around average car.  It got me from point A to point B, but there was nothing too special about it.  It had great handling, semi-decent power, good suspension, and got good gas mileage (it was only $25 to fill up the tank!!!).  I drove it from San Diego to Los Angeles and back several times and from San Diego to San Francisco and back with no problems.  Very little maintenance needed in the year and a half I owned it, just the regular oil changes and new brake pads.  It was a pretty decent looking car too.  I liked the interior especially.  Lots of black with red stitching and details, better than average looking dashboard.  I'm pretty positive I'd still have it now if I hadn't totaled it.

Pros — good gas mileage, not hideous, type s!, easy maintenance, didn't kill me when i crashed it
Cons — not very powerful,  paint not very receptive to chalk drawings, cracked under pressure

i absolutely love my car, it  has been through everything with me given it was my first car which i still drive!  It is great on gas too, I get around 30-42 mpg depending on city or freeway miles.  I have it lowered with intake and exhaust as well as a killer sound system! It had a minor tranny leak right out of the factory but that was fixed with no issues since with regular maintenance!

Pros — great gas mileage, compact to fit in all parking spots and cute!
Cons — not the best on uphill acceleration

Well, there is nothing that upsets me about the car apart from the fact that it only gets upto 110 MPH :( .... way too low for my liking :p Having said that, must say that the singapore model version of the same maker really flies n trust me I mean it when i say dis

Apart from the speed, the car is near perfect in build quality, driving wise, its well balanced at high speeds n doesn't oversteer in the corners...real fun to drive!

Pros — Build Quality & Driving Pleasure are on top of my list
Cons — Top Speed & Acceleration
