Automatic transmission went out at 150,000 miles. Started to notice a whinning/hissing sound in motor when car was started and a vibration in the transmission when driving between 35 and 45 mph. Difficult to find a comparable transmission for this car. Rebuilt transmission's run about $1,700.00 and the dealer is asking about $2,300.00. Also caliper in right front suspension going bad. Front of car shifts to the right at 80 mph and accellerating.
I have really enjoyed this car. Unbelievable handling on the curves, pleanty of power even at 80 pmh! And stops just as fast as it starts out... under 8 seconds at 80 mph. Unbelievable! A Great performance car. Would not recomend this car for a young driver! Zoom Zoom Zoom!!!
I'm thinking about getting this car after I get my G2. My question is: why you don't recommend it for young drivers?
