Some of the things that have gone wrong with this car are; Left rear window regulator does not work, Drivers side door does not lock, passenger side door does not open from the outside, and the cruise control does not work all the time.
General comments?
This car is fast. With an incredible performance and great handling, this car can whip around corners and go from 0-60 in 8.0 seconds. The seats are amazingly comfortable, and the way that they adjust in a great convenience. The spacious layout of the car makes ideal for travel, and a luxurious ride.
