The car just ran and ran for me and I only kept the fluids changed in it. People always asked to buy it. I know a guy his trans went out and a lady went to the shop 4 times each time it cost her 1000 guess I just got a good one. It had 107k mi on it when I bought it. Outside still looks good. I believe you have to be careful who you get to work on any car. Ask them if they really know how to repair this or am I going to have to keep bringing it back to you ask if they recommend someone who knows more about your auto. And look them in the eye tell them you don't mind paying as long as they really fix it right please don't have me coming back just to milk my wallet.

This is by far one of the best cars I have owned. Great fun to drive, comfort, speed, everything. However, when ever one needs repairs, and it does, it's a minimum of $600.00. It is in the shop now because the lights flash on and off, disco style (interior and exterior)until you disconnect the battery. The Aurora club says its the BCM (body control module) the dealer says its the Headlight Switch. If this car weren't so perfect in every other way it would be gone!

This is a very nice car , I have had this car for a little over 6 mo. and have had several problems A/C compressor came apart, the lights flash on and off (sometimes) when the car is in the drive way by them self, Keyless entry quit working (reprogramed, one of them work now)the air on drivers side is about 15- 20 deg. warmer than passenger side. This car has way to much high tech electronics that has not been tested over time. iv talked to severl owners of these cars with the same problems, also the Battery is an odd size only one that fits is a/c delco vented 135 bucks , and the tires are an odd size to ,had to order .

I think this car is great. I have had very few problems with it. Some friends of mine went out and got the same car, and one problem we all have is the back window seal leeks. Other than that they are some nice cars.
