This car is pretty quick and handles like it’s on rails. However, it is not worth the money and time that I had to spend on it. If I were to keep this car, it will cost average $2000 per year just for repair work. Maintenance (oil change, tune up and etc.) is more costly than most high end Japanese cars. Other than the engine, everything else is design to break within 10 years. For years I have owed many other type of cars. Things that normal don’t go wrong in most cars will go wrong in this car. I have had it with U. S and Europe cars. I am now going for Japanese all the way. No Japanese car that I ever owe had let me down!
