I have one that was issued as a company car. Currently have a little over 20,000 miles on it. Only normal maintenance has been done.

Now the bad. The A/C takes forever to start working in the summer. 70 mph on the highway and it blows hot air for 10 minutes. Not impressed.
The ride is very rough. Very bouncy. The short wheelbase is not good at all.
When you are driving down the road the steering is so sensitive that it feels like it could run off the road and flip in a heartbeat.
The seats are the most uncomfortable that I have ever ridden in. There is not very much room in the seat either. Armrests are not functional for a 6' 210 lbs guy.
Last, fuel mileage. Terrible. I drive all highway miles, 70 mph on cruise control all the time. 21 mpg is the best it has gotten. I have a Dodge 2500 Quad Cab CTD that gets 21.5 mpg consistently.

So, if it is just going to set in the driveway all the time, it might be perfect. If it is meant to be driven, I would find something that is better.
