fortwo Brabus 1.0L I3

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Over all I regret purchasing this car in the first place. Ever since I purchased the car, I had to fix the rims over 10 times since the Brabus rims were so weak that any bump will cause damage. One time it even got so bad that I had to replace the rim. At about 20,000 miles the gear wouldn't go into reverse, and the a/c blower stopped working.

Now at 46,000 miles the engine overheated, and it was a short notice. I was driving on the highway at 55 mph, all of a sudden over heat and engine light came on, and about 20 seconds later, the car loss power and died. The car behind me almost hit me. Luckily I was able to pull to the side quick enough.
