Ratings
Consumer reviews: I noticed one review where a consumer says the car requires total concentration and focus. I believe that if you're a person who does call or text while driving I highly recommend you do not get this car. If done so, concentration is key or have great insurance because accidents will be in your future.

(After researching and trying to figure out the possible option, I realized that they are very similar with one another. However, the two best choices would be 2000 version or the 2002 version. The 2001 version offers the cheapest price and the 2002 version offers a better corrosion warranty as well as a better fuel economy.)
