 I purchased this car with the mindset of it being a family car for the next ten years.  Now I hope I can get five.  I had the car in for its first oil change and had the dealer look at the transmission since it had been shifting hard into first, second and third gear.  To my surprise a week later I had a new transmission.  From reading the other reviews it looks like this is a universal flaw.  If you have this car I hope your dealer is as honest as mine was or you could have a big problem on your hands! To anyone thinking of buying this car don't!
