We have just noticed a small hole in muffler, other than that, we have had no problems with this car.
I do find that it is hard on gas and the gas gauge is very unpredictable. I can have almost a 1/4 of a tank and then five minutes later the gas light is on. I find that very frustrating.
The car drives very well and is fun to drive.
I feel very safe driving my kids in this car. It's sporty and fun to drive.
The seats are comfortable.
I got a 2000 z24 I like it a lot and mine gets 28 to the gallon.
