Alt. Failed shortly after ownership.
The power antenna stopped working.
Starter failed.
Tires popped.
Electrical system is very bad.
The car very easily collects dust.
The anti-lock brake system is extremely faulty, had them disconnected.
First I must say that the car is quite underpowered with only 170 horsepower pulling near 2 tons.
The suspension is WAY too spongy and makes it near impossible to make sharp turns.
The electrical system is general is bad.
I have put over $1200 in general work put into the car in just 1 year.
Even with 65,000 miles it still has random problems.
Paint job looks GREAT when waxed and polished.
Hey well I hope you liked the car because mine lasted up to 325 thousand km before any work was done to mine and a couple friends of mine had the same car and theres are still running and they have like 525 thousand km I blew the motor in mine at over 200 kmph so I donno underpowered you are definatly wrong there because the grand national had the same motor.
Underpowered is the most unbelievable statement you could make about the car. For being a "granny car" it hauls a** to say the least. I would say it is an excellent first car for any one, and a great car for someone looking for a luxury car that still has some giddy-up. It is a shame the model is discontinued.
