"Awesome purchase"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioner didn't work after a month. Had it replaced. (original dealer)

A few months later. Same problem but with a loud rattling noise. Had it replaced at original dealer.

Another few months later same problem, no sound. Different dealer. Replaced more parts (still under warranty at least!). Problem fixed.

Loud clicking noise from brakes, dealer states it's normal for this car.

General comments?

Over 50k+ in two years, two road trips, two winters, still going strong.

It's not fast at accelerating on the road, but I don't race to stop at stop lights/signs.

Wind can push the car off the lane. A little difficulty when passing the large vehicles on the highway.

Everyone says the car is roomy. I'd like a bit more leg room for my long legs.

I could use a bit more "trunk" space.

Handles okay/good in the snow/ice/slush with studded Hakka's.

Volume of sound has to be increased at 60mph+ highway speed. Probably due to the fact that the sound proofing in the cabin isn't very good.

On the no sound issue, what did the dealer say the problem was?

Best.

Jorge.
