My starter broke in 4 month after I got it.
My generator broke in 7 month.
A/C clutch broke after only 3 month.
And now my engine's starting to make a noise and I'll probably have to change it!
This car is very weak (only 90 hp) and has a poor performance because on 3-speed automatic transmition.
It has a poor gas milege.
This car is also very noisy inside the cabin and outside.
Problems come one after another. I'm tired to put my money in this car.
Do NOT buy this car!
You have a very bad outlook on this poor car...
The parts you listed are very common parts to replace on ANY car made ANY where in ANY decade. your starter needing replacing after 4 months is silly. the car was 9 years old.. not 7 months old.
The engine makes noises. It could be a billion things.. but probably a belt or something (unless you let it go to long).
You probably paid less than $2500 for the car. don't expect to have it act like a $25,000 car.
The other guy's right, you've given a cheap car a hard time, maybe you should drive a 13 year old honda, put your hand in the wrong spot and the engine collapses, or a toyota, you would replaced all the same stuff and more. As far as the gas milage gos it a slow car stop trying to hot rod it. Fact is yes, the car is slow and ugly, but if you're cool the car doesn't have to be. Relax and enjoy the ride.
