General comments?
Overall, this vehicle isn't good at all. You don't want to buy a car that is sitting in a mechanic's garage most of the time. Do not spend your hard-earned cash on this lemon.Don't buy it. It will save you grief in the long run!
This car is seriously underpowered.
Therefore, it really doesn't go faster than 50 miles/per hour.
It has starting problems in the winter time and the engine stalls when you shift from Reverse into Drive.
The interior is crude plastic and there is also a very cheap radio.
The exterior of the car looks like a box and the paint is very poor quality.
The seats are very uncomfortable because of the high seating position.
This was the worst car I ever owned.
