Summary:
A great car, if well maintained
Faults:
At about 140,000 miles, the transmission completely went out, after lengthy trouble with it.
More recently, after having the transmission replaced, the car sputters when the gas tank is at, or below half full. Not sure how serious or common this is. I've tried to clean the injectors as well, seems to be reoccurring.
Sometimes when it rains the back of the car makes a growling sound, especially going around curves at a higher speed (like on the interstate).
I've replaced the brakes several times, and they seem to run down quickly.
The trunk sometimes does not want to close.
General Comments:
There isn't much that I dislike about this car. For its age, the car does not show it, it's very well made!
It's roomy and comfortable on even the longest of trips.
The front window is very large and easy to see out of, though the back end of the car sits higher, making the back window more difficult to see through.
It drives well, and aside from an occasional issue with the shifting, it has good pick up and is usually easy on gas.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
