This little car runs great! We bought it for our daughter because she loved it, the price was right and it drove like a dream. The one BIG mistake we made was not looking at the body. It looked fine but as time wore on, it was anything but. It began rusting massively under the doors and now has rusted through in those spots and also above the wheel well by the gas fill door! I don't know what to do as it runs great but can't afford to get all the rust fixed. I was hoping there was a recall on this, but don't see one.
