Faults:

One oxygen sensor needed to be replaced at 31000 km.

The air conditioning lost its charge while the car sat in my garage over the winter, a time period of six months.

The rear cargo cover sometimes suddenly detaches from its mount points just behind the rear seats when the rear hatch is opened. This also occurs occasionally while the cover is being extended from its rolled up position.

Forget about having adults sit in the rear seats for any distance exceeding a mile or two; there just isn't enough leg room.

General Comments:

This car is a complete package; luxury, high performance and great looks at an affordable price. It never fails to turn heads.

The all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering are highly responsive. They can startle you the first few times that you test the car out at higher speeds, especially when changing lanes or passing other vehicles. The feel is akin to driving a go-kart in that there is very little body roll.

As with any sports coupe, it takes practice to enter and exit the cockpit gracefully. However, once you are in the driver's seat you really feel as if you are one with the car.

Acceleration will satisfy all but the most jaded individuals, especially once you master the proper launch technique that balances engine speed with clutch release timing. All-wheel drive rules the street!

Faults:

Transmission went out at 193,000 miles.

General Comments:

Compared too many sports cars with V-8 engines, I must say this car accelerates impressively for a 3.0 V-6.

The cockpit is awesome. Anyone who sits in it especially at night with everything lit in red gets the racing fever.

Faults:

The transmission went at 64,000 miles.

The cost was 2,800 to rebuild my transmission.

General Comments:

The car has no low end torque, but after 40mph it moves. It's a nice car for somebody wanting a car with a little performance.
