Good luck!

Answer 2

sell it

Cons:

transmission tanked at 180,000 kms; brakes wear quickly; poor handling on snow and ice

The small headlights. Problems with the heating system early on. Had three fans fitted, two under warranty. No problem now. Owner needs to know that temp gauge runs hotter than normal car.

The dash was like a video game, with new lights flashing every time I got in the car. The car had a ton of problems right around 90,000 miles. We spent $1400 on sensors, fuel injector, and other things, and then within a month the speedometer broke, the transmission went out, the A/C stopped working, and a wheel bearing went out. We needed a relatively reliable car, and this was not it.
