This car was the biggest piece of junk ever! I bought it brand new, picked it up on a Friday, and had it towed in the next Monday, the alternator crapped out. Over the life of the vehicle it had 5 alternators, the engine rebuilt once, the transmission twice, brake pads every 10,000 km, rotors every 20,000. It was in the shop for 4 weeks, over the first 14 months I owned it. I renamed it an "Lemona". I got rid of it after 4 years, because the extended warranty was running out, and I couldn't afford to keep the car running.
