Better than CR reviews
 Consumer Reports gave this car a low reliability rating but from my experience it has been great, with a couple of exceptions.  Like others I noticed that the tires wear out at 30,000 miles and the brakes wear out at 20,000. And I thought my wife used the gas and brake at the same time. My favorite attraction: Safety: it had curtain air bags standard while others gouged the consumer to get them.  I hear complaints about the readouts being in the center.  They should get some reviewers that are not old fashioned and fixed in their ways. It only took a little while.  My first attraction: it didn't have a ho-hum interior, but has a little excitement to it, even with just the standard package.
