This car has excellent power and braking but has suspension problems. I have had three sets of tires and need another set now. The vehicle is impossible to align and constantly wears tires. The dealer and manufacturer agrees that the car is made wrong and needs to have the rear aligment changed with some brackets. I have already taken it back two times for new spec changes to the suspension. I am working with a lawyer to hav this vehicle bought back using the NC lemon law.

Car is fast for 182 HP. Achieved 29 mpg all freeway with A/C averaging 80 mph. Chose L300 for;Value,Plastic side panels,Customer service and hoping for above average Reliability. Trunk is HUGE. Seating is comfortable for 4 on long drive. Attacked by shopping carts and car doors and body panels still look great! Car is not built as quiet and reliable as Honda, but the car is still very good and enjoyable to drive.

Bought this car because I needed something affordable that I could fit in (I'm 6'5"). Bonus was that it was fun to drive and looked good too, and I loved the dent-proof side-panels. The timing chain snapped, causing some engine damage, but no major engine problems after that repair. As it aged a few other things did stop working (AC, power steering, seat-adjuster), but it was still fun to drive, right up until I was rear-ended on the interstate. If you can find a low-mileage one cheap, it is a comfortable, fun sedan to drive with a lot of useful space.
