The steering rack had to be replaced. This was my first problem with the car and I've owned it for nearly a year. Total cost for the repair was around $800.
The driver seat also is wrinkly looking in a couple of spots.
The dome light/door ajar problem can be solved by lubricating all your door hinges with WD-40.
Overall, I really like the looks/handling/performance of the car, but I was very disappointed in the steering rack going bad so soon.
The finish is still in excellent condition even after 5 years in the hot southern sun. Overall everything still works well. The A/C still blows ice cold and the interior has held up well and still looks new for the most part.
I'm sort of undecided about how I feel about the car, since it has a lot of positives, but if I have to incur any further costly repairs I will likely be very upset.
Dear Sir.
I personally am very pleased with this review as it was instrumental beyond the help of my trusty mechanic in solving my annoying dome light/door ajar problem. Thank you very, very much.
Sincerely,
Carl E. of NYC.
