My friend has had two. Only problem with the first one is that he ran it into a deer at 60 mph.

Not to mention that it comes cut up into individual portions for free (they're tenderized too!)

He did it on the way to my house, about a quarter mile away. We made sure that thing was very, very dead.

It's a good car and really fun to drive. Which trim are you looking at?

However there are a few negatives to it: a) its loud on the highway (lots of windnoise) and the engine is really buzzy b) the way its geared (in the 5-spd ES model anyway) the engines revs pretty high at highway speeds so again its loud

Apart from that its a great car.
