General comments?
I have never had such a great car! This car has been there for me through thick and thin. Anyone who complains about this fine machine is a sucker. I will say this car is high maintainence and needs attention at all times. Other than that, it has 179,000 miles on it and still runs like brand new. It has no rust and I live in Michigan; you do the math. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.
