 I have test driven a few of these mid sized cars lately, stick with the Honda or Volkswagen.  Steer clear of this mechanical miscarriage.  I am not kidding when I say I was so happy to get back into my 99 Lincoln Continental.  I felt like I was riding in a 70s Chevy Vega.  It's obvious now to me most people have no idea what a good riding and handling car is who own these things.  This had an omnipresent vibration through the seat like riding one of those dinosaur Disney rides .  Every time I went to take of from a  stop, the front wheels had to spin  on the rainy surface.  Try owning one of these in Michigan during winter.  "Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here".
