Summary:
A Sweet Ride
Faults:
The only major problem I can think of, was that (at around 120,000 miles) the tie rods went and we had to have it towed home.
Seats seem to be designed with women in mind; I found them to be extremely comfortable whereas my male counterparts did not.
Didn't seem to be too incredibly good in the snow, perhaps it was just the tires.
General Comments:
This car really has some power, and handles excellently.
The interior, through heavy usage (kids, moving, dogs, cats) had maintained its form and comfort.
Very bright and roomy inside; you can see everything from the drivers' seat.
A little above average gas mileage, got me where I wanted to go efficiently.
When I totaled it in January, I hit a Dodge Pickup head-on, on an icy road... It was a hard hit and the car looks like it went through a meat grinder, but I escaped with a small bruise on my elbow and a sore fist, as I hit the windshield with it as the airbag deployed. Had I been driving anything less, I wouldn't be here writing about how great the car was. :)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
