if anyone knows about these cars, please tell me:
-are these cars reliable?
-what are the common issues?
-are they good to drive for long distances?
-what should i look for? (it just hit 145xxx miles.)
-WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THE CAR? (reliability, efficiency, etc)

i love the car, its comfortable and all, but i was wondering if its honestly what i need.

since i drive alot, and dont know anything about it (im used to hondas) should i just sell it for what i paid for it? or will it last me and be reliable for me to drive long distances?

if you could please just give me any information/advice, please let me know.

should i just got back to a civic?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

thank you
wouldnt this have been better asked BEFORE the purchase?

You've already answered your own question, you don't know anything about it.

it really depends how the car was treated before you got it...it doesnt matter if its a metro or a ferrari....if its been abused and not maintained it will have issues...
