My daughter has been driving this car and we thought it seemed like a nice little car. Boy you get what you pay for. We bought it for $3000. Soon after purchase it overheated, but only sometimes. We had the CarFax report and had the thermostat replaced it was under warranty. That took car of that. Then the engine/throttle would stick. You could be at a stop sign and it would go up to 30mph without even touching the gas pedal. That would come and go. Then she called me and told me while she was driving it the power steering went out. Nice! We took it to a mechanic we know, everyone should have a mechanic they can trust, and it was the rack and pinion steering that went out. Also, he replaced the belts because the wrong belts had been put on by someone else. Then he replaced whatever part he thought was bad that was making it accelerate. This was a total of $625. Now it is doing the accelerating thing again. Frustrating! We should have bought the Honda with double the miles! I know we wouldn't have the problems we are having with this piece of crap! Just think if you are going through a school zone on this thing, you will have to ride the brake the whole way. She flies up the driveway at 30mph, I'm afraid she'll go thru the garage. Anyone have this problem?
