What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has really gone wrong because of manufacturing, but I had been in an accident and the lights were fitted wrong, so this caused an electrical problem.

General comments?

I love this car, it is fun to drive. It also gives very good gas mileage.

In the 2 years I have owned this car, I have racked up 45,000 miles and it still runs like new.

This little car not only looks great, but feels like a sports car minus the power.

Has a moderate back seat to pile in your friends, along with fold down seating to fill your trunk.

All in all, I would buy this car all over again.

I agree! I bought my car at the end of 2003 and have absolutely loved it. It has almost 90,000 miles on it and it hasn't had one problem to date.

It was just recently wrecked and the damage to the passenger side is a bit concerning. The car wasn't totaled, but it makes me wish I had shelled out to get the side curtain air bags. I'm glad that no one was in the passenger side at the time of the accident.

Overall the car is great! However a bit small if you ever want to put rear facing car seat in the back.
