It leaked anti-freeze for a while once, it did this a few times actually, then I had the heater core replaced and it was fixed.
Seats have worn terribly, they're all ripped up.
It had all kinds of electrical problems, I've gone through 2 CD players, whenever I used the defrost, the power locks would stop working, a lot of the little inside lights went out, the heat and air stopped working, the fan that normally blows the heat and air only worked a few times and hasn't worked in a very long time, the brights never worked, I had the started replaced and the new one broke within 4 months.
It is a terrible car, other than the fact that it gets good gas mileage.
Nothing worked and it was incredibly unreliable. I never knew if it was going to start or not.
If you want good gas mileage in the crappiest package it comes in then buy this car.
What do you expect out of an eleven year old car with 165,000 miles on it?? I hate to tell you that with the exception of the heater core, the rest of your problems sound pretty minor to me. If you want perfection buy a brand new car.
Any car of that age and mileage is liable to have those problems. If it was a new car your complaints would be justified.
I thought your car had low mileage seeign that how you were complaining, but seeing your high mileage...geez. I would just suck it up and be happy. Plus how hard is it to change a few light bulbs that burn out???
And do us all a favor, don't lose your faith in the US over the crappy Beretta.
