Least favorite feature: |
The lack of power. |
Advice to buyer: |
Look elsewhere unless All Wheel Drive is absolutely necessary. |
Detailed review: |
The car is sluggish off the line, and power imprives as the revs go up, however the transmission drops the engine below the power band upon each shift, making for poor acceleration up until about 4500 RPM. The interior is nice at first, however upon closer inspection is very chintsy. Also, the brakes are horrible and wear VERY quickly, expect to need a new pair at least every 25,000-30,000 miles. Loud at high speeds, and not an very fun car to drive, however gas mileage is respectable and it serves it purpose as an all wheel drive economy car. Unfortunately, I had no say in whether my father bought the car, and he did anyway because he 'needed' all wheel drive. |
