Worst car ever

This was the worst car Ii have ever had. I got it in February and the same day I got it it stalled out on a major and the transmission fluid cost $10 a bottle. I spent $40+ in transmission fluid in a day and a half. Once we got it running it kept stalling out all the way home. I had to use this car to get back and forth to work and school and I couldn't even drive it for the first month I had it. After Ii got it legal it broke down 4 times in a matter or 2 hours. It's not a reliable vehicle at all & I do not recommend it for anyone. I went to get it looked at the transmission place and they wanted over $1,700 for the transmission, NOT INCLUDING LABOR. It is not a safe or reliable car. Too many issues. It was an automatic acting like a manual vehicle which that should not happen. I had it for a total of 2 months. I only drove it for about 2 weeks and had to get rid of it due to all the transmission and engine codes it was pulling up with my code reader.

I recomend this car. Got the coupe in silver and love the style and design of the out side with the rear spoiler. The quad coupe was a great idea. Gives you the sporty look of a coupe with the practicality of a four door. Like the simplicity of the design inside. The dealers low presure aproach to sales and good customer service is great. Fun car to drive.

First American Car In 18 Years

My first impression, I like it. The car feels sturdier than the little Japanese econoboxes I was used to driving (Ford Festiva's, Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla). I am wary of the CVT but that's why I have a 6 year 100,000 mile warranty. The acceleration is OK, not as good as my Nissan Sentra (5 sp) or Corolla (5 sp), but is sure is nice having an automatic in bumper to bumper traffic. Reviewers knocked the seats but I don't mind them. I drive 2.5 to 3 hours a day commuting to and from work and have no complaints. Still not used to electric power steering but it seems to work OK.
