Shocks went out at 42,000 miles.

Upper ball joint broke on highway at 55 miles per hour at 46,000 miles. This caused all of the other front end work I had done to become ruined once more.

72,000 miles the ball joints are bad once more. This time they broke in the parking lot at work.

It handles extremely poorly.
Interior is junkie. Knobs and switches have broken off.
