"Nice Ride, if you can afford to keep it on the road"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear brakes went out at 34,000 Miles.

Front tires needed replaced at 30,000 miles.

Trunk Wouldn't open at 35,000 miles.

Shifter Grinds going out of park, was replaced at 40,000 (warranty), now its doing it again.

Uses a quart of oil every 3k miles.

Occasionally when on cruise it will stutter and pick up.

General comments?

The car gets decent mileage, though acceleration is kind of slow. Regardless I still get better mileage in my daily driver Toyota pickup.

I like the C.V.T.

The A-pillars are huge and limit visibility.

Everything works.

Goes through brakes fast, the fronts are now acting up.

Not a cheap car to own, for some reason.

Goes through a quart of oil every 3k miles? Maybe that's because you should change your oil every 3 months or 3k miles...
