 When the car is working it drives like a go-kart. It has little get up and go but when it goes in to 2nd gear it starts to slow down. I think the only good thing about the car is the gas mileage when the car is working. One major problem I've had with the car is the alternator belt and bracket. I've had to replace the belt 5 times now, and the OEM bracket is such a poor design. It's a good 1st car if you have the money to keep fixing it all the time. Other than the repairs it's been a great little car.
