Needed to get a car for the wife that would hold all the kids in it. For the price it was a relatively good deal. Cheap on gas and the cheapest car on the market that is close to a van in seating. However I now understand why these cars are so cheap...cause they are made cheap. It served its purpose but now I wish I just bought a used Honda or Toyota van instead.
The side doors rattle and sometimes come loose on the highway and give an open door light on the dash. The front suspension squeaks and the brakes squeak also. The fuel economy is pretty good however it has no guts and you can easily power through a half a tank of gas if you attempt to try and pass anyone or give it too much while trying to merge onto a highway. The headlights went on this car about 3 months in. I purchased new ones from a store and put them in myself and the way these lights go in are ridiculous. The backs are held on with something metal that looks like a bobby pin a spring and elastic. Never seen anything like it.
The car served its purpose but I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone, its just built horrible with cheap parts.
