This is the most uncomfortable car I've ever been in. The seats have no back support and you can feel every bump in the road. Every time You hit a bump the dash board squeaks.
The top was bought last year and every time it rains hard the seats get wet and it smells like wet dog inside. It can take DAYS to dry.
It has the worst handling. The steering is loose and jittery. There is no acceleration and the gas mileage should be a lot better for the size engine it has. Snow is a night mare. It just slides across the top of the ice, and with no ABS pumping is a must. I've been stuck in numerous driveways in the winter (including mine).
The A/c works sporadically and is hard to keep on. The switch only works well in high and none of the other settings work. And on very hot days if the A/C is on it sometimes stalls out when I put it in reverse.
We bought the car in South Carolina and it had no rust. After 2 Ohio winters and constant washings it has already began to rust.
I will give the heater credit. It will bur you out of the car in the winter.
This car has also never really left me stranded. While it may be junk it will always start (though sometimes it dosnt want to).
Just wondering, do you follow any kind of regular maintenance schedule at all???
