Not enough owner reports to rank this model year, so here are the basics.

Paperwork
- Ask for service records and the title. Compare the VIN on the car, the paper and our report.
- Check the odometer against the wear on the pedals and seat.
Test drive
- Drive on a highway and in town. Listen for noises and watch the temperature gauge.
- Pay for an independent mechanic's inspection before you commit.
