Detailed review: |
I'm sorry I bought this car. It looks great, and the gas mileage is decent, but that's about it. In two years, with 41,000 miles on it, I've already spent hundreds in repairs, culminating with a copius transmission leak at the pan and front axle that cost over $300 to fix. It's had one minor thing after the other go wrong - windshield washer failed, light on the stereo went out, *entire* stereo had to be replaced (covered under warranty, thankfully), the color on the cloth seats is wearing off, the trunk carpeting peeled off weeks after I bought it. Drums, rotors and pads replaced. It's VERY 'slippery' in wet weather, scary in Florida. Blind rear vision. Noisy interior from day one,witha mysterious cracking I never figured out. Brakes sometimes 'slip' and braking is compromised. |
