 Favorite feature:

Low price and 10 year warranty.

 Least favorite feature:

After only 10000 miles while driving on open road rpms went between 5000-6000 and I had to pull over to put in park and then back into drive. Took to dealer and said no problems found but got papers from service center stating there was a problem.

 Advice to buyer:

If you plan to keep car for duration of loan period it's great. If you plan to trade it in, beware! Value greatly depreciates once driven off lot (about $6000)

 Detailed review:

Car handles very well on the open road. Gas mileage slowly getting worse. Maintenance is current, but still doesn't help my mileage. Acceleration is not that great even when a/c is off but I learned not to pull out in front of anyone anymore.

 Also considered:

2004 Toyota Corolla
2004 Hyundai Elantra
2004 Nissan Altima

 Vehicle purchased:

2004 Kia Spectra
