I have a friend that's thinking about buying one. Simply needs el-cheapo transportation. Should I tell her to run like hell - or are they good cars (for the money)? I don't like tinkering with CIS, but are they otherwise reasonably decent cars? I just want to make sure it's not the VW equivalent of the Trabant or plagued with rediculous quality control problems like many 2000-2003 Golfs were.

I generally like cars that aren't trying to be anything more than they are. The Fox sounds one of those.

ie:

Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris type cars = good
Kia "luxury" models, or anything built in America between 1975-1995 = bad.



Thanks Y'all!
