Does anyone own a Schwinn Jenny or XDS bike? Your thoughts?

Hello I'm new to this forum and am about to buy my first bike.
The bike I want to get is this one
http://www.schwinnbikes.com/aus/bikes/u ... peed-14398 .
Does anyone own this or even a previous model of it and what are your experiences/thoughts in regards to upkeep and maintenance and use?
I have test ridden so many bikes looking for a nice girls one that's affordable on my budget and Jenny's for me.
I know that XDS are pretty much as entry level as you can go and most (shop) people consider them a joke. But obviously someone is buying them because I've seen loads around. Are they really that bad? If you own one or have ridden one for a prolonged time what do you think?
Things for me that are essential, more than 3 gears (but less than 8), chain guard, mudguards, rear rack, basket, step through frame and looks good. Under $650 would be nice. Shall last. Do not want it dead at the end of the first year. When you have all that in one bike there's only 2 options to choose from.
It will most likely be my main form of transport/commuting, but less than 10k per ride.
Sorry for all the rambling. Thank you.
