my mom had an 05 and now has an 08. The first car ran great and never had a single problem...still going strong with my brother driving it and has about 40k miles on it now. So far so good on the 08 as well but it only has about 4k miles. Averaged about 24mpg in town in the 05 and the new one seems to be a little better. They seem to have plenty of power as well!
