"Not reliable at all"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission joint problems. Replaced right joint on steering wheel.

Left wheel ball bearing crashed and replaced.

Cylinder head had from manufacturing small cracks/imperfections. The head gasket blew because of this and it took four days of work and 500$ to fix myself. Bought a head gasket kit and tools.

The seats aren't very comfortable.

Cooling system blew four times. Had radiator leaks, water pump leaks, and cooling parts joints. Air heater blew and lost coolant again.

If it's raining outside for few days, gallons of water are accumulating on the floor of front/rear seats.

Spent $2200 on this car and other $2500 in one and half year for parts and labor repairs.

General comments?

I will never buy any US car...

Would you like to sell the car? If so I am willing to buy. I am living in Jamaica and you can reach me at granville808@hotmail.com.
