A few months after purchasing it, the check engine light has been going on constantly. Supposedly, it was because the car is sensitive (ie. gas cap has to be tightened correctly). I've been going back and forth to get the check engine light checked. I've been getting readings like problems with my air intake, but it wasn't the problem. I just kept getting the check engine light coming off and on. The mechanics said that it wasn't a major problem to worry about, however, I did worry a little because what if something had gone wrong? Then what?
Well, just recently, after almost a year of check engine lights flashing before me, I got my spark plugs changed because they were cracked, and I haven't had the light on (knock on wood!).
Pieces have been falling off - ie. covers for screws, a piece to hold the back cover for my trunk/back..
I find that this car is good for the city.
Long drives aren't so bad with this car.
It's OK on gas.
I find the seats uncomfortable after a while of driving.
If you're a long-legged driver and have to push your seat further back, I don't think your backseat passengers would have enough leg space.
The car is a bit unstable driving on the highway.
The car is affordable, but some of its features are of cheap quality.
I am having the same problem with the "check engine" light. Still don't know why. I have also had to have the transmission (manual 5-speed) serviced several times. I have had this vehicle for seven months and have had to have it serviced 7 times. The transmission still isn't what you would expect from a new car. Fuel economy is nothing to rave about. It's OK. I thank god for the warranty because I have a feeling I'm going to need to call on it a lot!!!
