 I bought this car, thinking it would be a nice reliable ride.  Another plus was that I thought it was imported; boy was I wrong.  I soon discovered that the top leaked like a river (2 days after purchase), and the transmission shifted erratically.  My mechanic said these cars are disasters (engine leaks, failures, etc.); however, I gave it a chance, but before I traded, I knew the tranny was getting ready to explode.  I also had a problem maintaining the oil level in the car.  I would not recommend this car to anyone who needs a completely reliable vehicle or who doesn't like to take a shower on his/her way to work or school.
