They certainly are nice little cars. I put on a little over 18K in the last six months and I'm still very pleased with mine.
We think of them as a good, cheap, little car but they have a lot of head room and the seat / eye height above the ground is not that low. I think they are a good CAR that happens to be cheap. Let's see how long the body lasts. That is always the unknown.
