Pros: Roomy, comfortable, great to go to the beach.
Cons: BLIND SPOTS, BLIND SPOTS, BLIND SPOTS.
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend for inexperienced drivers due to many blind spots.

I inherited this car from my Dad. It's roomy and a great vehicle to take to the beach, transport our parrots, or drive the dog to the vet. The sound system is good, and it is easy to clean. I have driven for 27 years without even as much as a parking ticket, but three times now I have almost hit a car or pedestrian because of the blind spots between the windshield and the front door. If you approach an intersection at just the right speed as a car coming in on your left, you may not see it. This actually happened to me, and I was lucky to see him at the last minute. This morning a pedestrian walked behind another car and came out just in the blind spot between the driver's window and windshield. I saw him in the nick of time. Thank God I was merely idling through the parking lot. I apologized, but he screamed out a string of expletives at me. I'm still upset about it. This is now the second time I have not seen a pedestrian in that spot. There are also blind spots behind the driver, so beware changing lanes to your left unless you are absolutely sure no one is there. We were going to give this car to our teenage daughters, but now I absolutely won't. It's too dangerous.
