"Ugly little car by today's standards, but you cannot look past it either"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to replace the brake pads at about 35,000 miles (but due to my lead foot and the fact that I lived in Germany for two years with the car, and yes it will do what is on the speedometer, takes a while to get there but it will).

I also had to replace the front driver's seat, it had a broken bolt and I'm a bit disappointed in the paint peeling.

General comments?

For a car that I paid $9,056.00 for it has been amazing. My wife has been on my back for two years to get rid of it, but being that I'm 6'8" tall I cannot find a car that I fit comfortably in and I can't see my self paying nearly $30,000.00 for a truck.

I have taken my car to Germany, France, Montana, Nevada, and California. It has been on an autobahn in Germany. I have had it up to... well lets just say pucker factor of 7. And it still has not let me down.

That broken bolt should've been covered by the recall last year.

I can't figure out why my 2.2L Sundance won't go the distance (or the speed, for that matter!) Mine is apparently drag limited to 155kph, as I found out one day outside Montreal.

I'm only 6'2, and I felt VERY cramped in my Shadow when I owned it. That's why I upgraded to a Voyager mini van.
