"Looks expensive, but it's a piece of junk!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Electric blower died.

Front bumper color faded.

Fast car? I don't think so!

Engine burned oil excessively.

General comments?

Engine burned 4 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Smoke was coming out of the exhaust pipe. I cannot believe a car can be that bad quality.

It looked nice. It shined. Cool looking youngsters were driving it so my wife convinced me to buy a German car and give my 286k original mile Honda Accord some rest. Now why would I want to pay 25 dollars a month for 5 years for a car that is ready to go to the junkyard.

When I tried to put splash guards on it, the holes on the splash guards were not aligned with the ones on the body.

It sounds like a joke but whenever I contacted the dealer to get something fixed they told me it was normal for my car to do whatever it was doing. I don't think so.
