Etc.
General comments?
Well this was my first car and of-course you never forget you first car. I loved this car. It has great acceleration and speed. It even looked sporty. Good gas mileage. Oh, but the problems that went wrong with this car put me in debt and I'm only 17. I recommend you have lots of money to own one of these cars, but even after all problem still a great car.
