fun ride but poor quality

My car may or may not be typical, but it was in the shop four times for repairs (wheel speed sensor, fuel level sending unit, fan speed control unit, head gasket, rusty rotors, loud pinging engine when cold). Once it left me stranded on the highway. The trim was loose in places, it got horrible radio reception, winshield trim rattled in the wind, radio station tuning knob turned station #'s the wrong way half the time. Other than the poor quality, it was a good car to drive. The car has good acceleration and cornering and is fun to drive.

I bought this car in order to get out of another one. It turns out that I like it so much, I wouldn't have believed it either four months ago. It runs well, the service is great, and the ride compares with my friend's mercedes! The best part: The dash lights up red at night and the lights are automatic, don't ever worry about leaving lights on all night.

I have a problem of overheating will idling. Nothing fixes this problem, flushing the system or new therostat hasn't work. Both power window have snapped, one at 8000 and the other at 38000.

One of the worst rentals I have ever had. Please heed that this car only garnered 1 star rating for safety from NHTSA and got a "Poor Safety" rating from the insurance institute.
