Like any other car, a ZX2 will treat you right if you properly maintain it. Mine has been relatively problem free, aside from crappy mileage and dents and dings all over the damn place.
In the future, I'll be sure to go four doors. It's beyond annoying now to get out and fold the seat so somebody can get in the back since we all car pool for college down here. I do/did take care of it though.
