I bought my car used from a reputable dealer. I had problems with it after less than 600 miles. The car had 52,000 miles on it. Here are the good and the bad about the car:
Good- Very compact, easy to handle, drives well, lots of head room for tall people, the dash board lights up with a blue background for easy panel reading, 23 MPG in town 31+ highway MPG and its adorable!!

Bad- The seats don't fold down completly flat and the back seat is a little small. My issues were the battery was already bad and the shifter panel was bad which kept the car from shifting out of park.

Great Tip from AAA: I learned that with automatic locks you can reset your cars system (if it seems to be having computer malfunctions) by closing the doors manually and waiting for 30-60 seconds and then using the key to manually open the car and start the vehicle again.

If the car is tilted more than 10 degrees it will set off the alarms which is added safety!

I love my car and even with the problems I wouldn't dream of getting rid of it! My friend bought one a month after I did because the liked looks and the way it handled.
