This car is everything you want in a vehicle, after almost 200,000 KM it has given me almost no trouble except the usual little things that all car owners experience. But no great costly repairs. Its a great looking vehicle, comfortable for long drives. Ive had a lot of cars and this one tops the list, except for my Mercedes.Jan 17, 2024

Great car! Manual 6 speed. I compare it to a Toyota. Responsive and reliable vehicle. CarGurus made it easy to find what I needed!Jul 09, 2023

Battery was dead and car probably has a few fuses that need to be replaced. Could use a good detailing too. Nobody wants to spend $10K on a project …. A/C works fine and sunroof is a nice feature. No visible exterior damage.Jun 16, 2022
