General Comments:
By far the most problematic car I have ever owned. Started falling apart after 55,000 miles.
It's not as easy on gas as it should be.
It looks good and it's pretty comfortable, but this car might be mechanically inferior to a Yugo.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Pretty short list of problems, most of which are minor, for a 10 year old car. You bought it with 80K miles on it, so who knows how it was treated before you took possession of it?
