"The real definition of a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump had to be replaced at 51000km.
Transmission had to be rebuilt at 71000km due to a seal leaking fluid resulting in burning out the clutch bands.
Brakes (pads and rotors) have been replaced 4 times in total.
Upper and lower intake gaskets replaced on engine at 91000km.
Ignition module replaced at 93000km.
Driver side power window switch replaced at 94000 km.
Fuel gage showing wrong info at 98000km, still broken.

General comments?
This car is a very powerful and smooth riding machine when it works and is not in the service station. It is a very high maintenance car and parts are on the expensive side in comparison to its competitors.
