 Great car for the most part. Handled 
well, good in snow, easy to drive, 
spunky. Repairs over 4 years included  
new fuel pump, new tie rods three 
times, one brake job. The last two 
break downs were almost the end. 
The CV joint broke, literally, in the 
middle of the road. No warning that is 
was bad. That was relatively cheap to 
repair. But the same week, we had to 
deal with the engine light on 
constantly. The code told us something 
was wrong with the cam shaft. 
Apparently, this model has the V-tech 
engine. Cam shaft repairs would be 
around $800-1000. What to do with 
trade-in value of $1800 at best? We 
traded it in and will probably never 
buy another.
