There are some problems in opening doors -- the standard answer is 'Pull up -- not out', which usually works. The car is my mother's, who uses it just to commute, so it hasn't been punished to any extent, though it makes occasional ~400-600 mile highway trips (rare). The paint job is acceptable, but some of the inside door trim is coming loose. No mechanical difficulties, other than run-on, which is usually fixed by a tune at the specified interval. Overall, we've been happy with it -- it's a good commuter car. The internal fittings are somewhat spartan for my taste; but it was cheap, and the gas mileage is good. So, I think we would be numbered amoung the happy Horizon owners. Our dealer helps a lot; he lives just down the street, and is very courteous and prompt about service. Chris Kent, Purdue CS
