"It's okay since it runs smoothly except for when it cuts out at red lights"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It eats and drinks up all the oil.

Too small.

It makes a loud noise when it accelerates.

It takes forever to accelerate.

When driving over 50mph on a highway, it feels loose and wobbly.

My air conditioner doesn't work even though it's only 6 years old.

My engine cuts out when I wait at long stop light, might be something wrong with fuel pump.

General comments?

Other than that, it's a great car for someone who's young and a first-time buyer.

Also, great for someone who's single with no kids.

I also had the problem with my Ford Escort LX. It cut out at the red light. It turned out that one of the hoses (L-shape) had a hole in it, the area where it bends. I put in a good used replacement from an auto salvage.

I did most of it myself and car idles great, about a year later.

Total cost: $9.00.
