I am looking into buying the car listed above. Is this a reliable car that will last at least six years? Are there any major drawbacks to this car?

Good afternoon,

A used car is only as good as the person who serviced before you.

Have a shop do a bumper to bumper check on all systems including a compression test on the motor. The fact you are looking at long term, you need to be sure there are no hidden or future repairs that could be major.

I would also consider getting a warranty on the power train to be sure you will not be shelling out thousands in engine or transmission repairs.

I am not a fan of them but it depends on your likes and dislikes. I prefer something a little bigger for safety.
