General comments?
I have had this car since new and I have realized I hate driving it.
The wind noise in the cabin is intrusive and it is difficult to hold a conversation at hwy speed.
The truck wanders across the hwy and it is difficult to keep going straight. It needs constant steering corrections despite having it in for alignments numerous times.
Every time I bring it for service, it needs something else fixed.
The door leaks when it is raining.
