I’ve loved this little car. Even at 230,000 miles, it still runs like a champOct 20, 2025

The brakes didn’t work and so my boyfriend used the emergency brake to stop but that didn’t work either so the only way to stop was crashing. It’s a very unsafe and unreliable car at least in our experience.Sep 21, 2025

It is a change from a non hybrid car. Has great fuel economy, a little road/wind noise when you drive on the highway. More comfortable and roomier than I expected. Very happy with the car.May 30, 2021
