 This car was great for about the first year only. If that! I had a major problem with my transmission in the first year. They told me that I was lucky it was covered under warranty because it would have cost me an arm and a leg!  The next major problem was the brake light - apparently their was another major problem with the engine. It served the purpose of taking me from point A to point B in the city.  I commute and I DO NOT recommend this vehicle to commuters! After commuting for 1 1/2 years the car broke down left me stranded twice.  I put so much money into this car because the parts are soooo expensive for such an inexpensive car! The gas mileage is about the one good thing.
