General comments?
As you can see from the list above this has not been a good car for me it has been one thing after another since I got the car, the last thing for me was the transmission I can't deal with a $3000 repair on a 1993 car, I expected to get close to 200,000 miles from the car and all I've gotten is 122,000 miles and the car is wore out, it needs to be crushed.
