This was my second car. Bought with 36000 miles on it and traded in with 89000 on it. The only bad thing about the car was slow acceleration. Was reliable. Catalytic converter went bad around 50000 miles. Had no other problems. Comfortable, nice looking small car.

I drove this car into the ground. No maintenance except brakes and oil changes. Clutch went out at about 80K miles. The little 1.2L engine kept on working.

I got this car the summer before I went to college. Although it has had some work done on it due to age, Marten (that's my car's name) is still a reliable old car.

If you want a subcompact tank, this is it. It gets amazing gas mileage and actually performs pretty well. If you can put up with its ugliness its the perfect car to own. Very fun in a four speed. Word!
