"A shopping cart would have been better than this"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where to start? When I bought this car, everything was fine, until 5,000 km, when the check engine light was continuously on, the dealer refused to replace it, even though it was well under warranty.

At 7,000 the trunk release was broken, the dealership had told me that it had been somehow my fault and refused to replace it, still under warranty.

It was a while before anything else went wrong with it, the next thing that went wrong must have been the worst, but hopefully for the dealer, it was one of a kind, at 47,000 km, it started burning oil, how so soon, I'll never understand, but what happens, happens.

General comments?

All in all, this car is moderately decent, I don't at all times like it, but when its running, and there's nothing wrong with it, it's acceptable. The dealer was very annoying, the most annoying had to have been when they told me that I broke the trunk release. They made me pay $500 for their defective material.

It sounds to me like all of these problems were relating to the dealership, not the actual car itself.
