"Great little car, on sunny days"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with it since I've had it. Only routine maintenance, none of the break problems everyone else seems to have had.

General comments?

I love this car, but don't think I'd own another one. It depreciates quickly which leaves a trade in virtually impossible unless you want to give the car away, and it is so light, windy driving, hitting puddles, and snow driving (I live in Indiana) is down-right scary sometimes.

It's a sharp quick little car, and sips gas like you wouldn't believe. I've been known to take 2 weeks before re-filling my tank. And it is fun, but not a weather car.

I had that same flying feeling in weather with my Zx2 I just bought a quality set of rain tires and it went away and actually would do 90 in the pouring rain. I live in Michigan and the snow performance didn't decrease too much. It was still fairly stable with rain tires.
