 Favorite feature:
The size of the trunk and the grill and headlights.

 Least favorite feature:
How cheaply some features were made--and the lack of necessary features.

 Advice to buyer:
If you are looking for an inexpensive car to tide you over, until you can afford what you really want--this is the way to go. If you want something that will most likely need to visit the shop often for slight technical problems--this is the car for you!

 Detailed review:
This one drives nicely for its size. It takes corners and accelerates BEAUTIFULLY! Freeway driving, at high speeds, with wind--it doesn't do so hot. Tossed side to side and jolted, hard, often when a trucker passes. Very low to the ground--often skidded the underside on pavement.

 Also considered:
2001 Dodge Neon
2001 Ford Mustang
2001 Dodge Durango

 Vehicle purchased:
