Worst thing I ever bought

23,000 miles and tires are bald. Can't drive it over 50 without the car slipping with new tires. The screen has went out on me twice and it seems to not shift well when first taking off. I'm mostly disappointed in the way it handles on wet, icy and snow covered roads. The rear end sliding and it sways all over the road. If the wind is blowing it is awful. sucks
