"Can't see, brake or steer, but nice styling!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car is comfortable, but since it's sporty it bounces a lot on the highway (especially on LA high ways). The B-pillars are too wide (6-7") and it's really hard to see when passing the cars on the left. Steering is too responsive and always has to be adjusted (not sporty, just too responsive and is annoying because its always needs to be corrected. Brakes are weak and really slushy just like 98-up Camry's.

General comments?

Nice car, I love the ride and style, but the above things really made me hate this car.

I rented this car with 6000mi on it and drove it for 1500mi in 5 days in California.

I went from LA to Santa'Barbara to Las Vegas to Hover Dam and things like that.

I really love the styling of exterior and interior.

The centre console was making noise (at 6000mi) which is kinda early for 2007 car, but I am sure its fixable and the console just needs a little TLC.

The steering did appear overly assisted at first, but once I got used to it, the steering is subtle and excellent.
