"Buy only if you can afford the repairs."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The water pump leaked. Had pump and timing belt replaced as recommended by the manufacturer. ($600)

The clutch fluid kept leaking out and the car would not shift into gear. Had the slave cylinder replaced. ($180)

Check engine light came on 60 miles from home at 12:00 am. Engine was running terrible. Two burnt valves replaced. ($850)

The sun roof leaks and has stopped opening. Have not had that fixed.

There is a short in on of the tail lights.

The stock FM stereo fades in and out for no apparent reason.

The interior rattles.

The right rear wish bone suspension makes a metal to metal noise when I hit a bump.

General comments?

Fast and fun to drive.

Sharp looking.

Terrible reliability.

Poor craftsmanship.
