 The longer we've owned this car, the better we like it.  The biggest drawback is the protruding plastic bits under the doors, everytime you get out you get dirty.  Floor doesn't quite fold flat, but close enough.  We bought snow tires as we do a good deal of winter driving and that made a ton of difference.  The clutch and brakes have remained good, transmission and engine strong.  Ownership drawbacks - high priced gas and oil.
