"A wallet drainer"

Cracked cylinder head at 50,000 miles.

Door locks have fallen into panel.

Steering column repeatedly breaks loose.

Loose door panels.

Replaced window regulators 3 times.

Premature replacement of many parts.

General comments?

A poorly built car with more bugs in it than an anthill.

I also have the same type of engine in my car. A mechanic who recently did about $1000 worth of work on the car told me that the quad 4 is a very specialized engine that is very difficult to work on. I put about $1600 into it to find out it needs another $1750 - 2350 plus tax. The car is definitely not worth the repairs.
