General Comments:

The car requires me to let it warm up a few minutes. or it will lurch as if rpm's are modulating for about 10 seconds.

The gas mileage is good. About 24 in mixed driving.

The front seat is comfortable for a 6'2" tall person.

I wish the car was more reliable because it is hard to find a vehicle that gets decent mpg, can carry 8 people if needed (2kids in back) and has good room for a trip to Home Depot if needed.

Faults:

The rotors have to be repaired for the third time at 62,000 miles.

The fuel pump has gone out.

A sensor in the transmission has gone out.

The door open sensor is broken.

The speedometer was going crazy and had to be repaired.

General Comments:

I started out really liking this car, but with all the trips to the repair shop I have changed my mind.

I have to repair the rotors for the third time. They are fine for a few months and then they start wobbling again.

When the fuel pump went out, I was just 1,000 miles below the 60,000 mile warranty was over, so they had to fix it for $50. The manager at the dealership basically made it sound like it was my fault. The repair would have been around $700. I have the car regularly serviced and change the oil every 3,000 miles.

I have already had to purchase new tires.

The door open sensor is constantly going off and I do not want to spend the money to fix it. I am waiting for something more serious to happen and I am sure it will.

Faults:

The steering rack had to be replaced. This was my first problem with the car and I've owned it for nearly a year. Total cost for the repair was around $800.

The driver seat also is wrinkly looking in a couple of spots.

General Comments:

The dome light/door ajar problem can be solved by lubricating all your door hinges with WD-40.

Overall, I really like the looks/handling/performance of the car, but I was very disappointed in the steering rack going bad so soon.

The finish is still in excellent condition even after 5 years in the hot southern sun. Overall everything still works well. The A/C still blows ice cold and the interior has held up well and still looks new for the most part.

I'm sort of undecided about how I feel about the car, since it has a lot of positives, but if I have to incur any further costly repairs I will likely be very upset.
