Comments

"Overall, a good car. Handling and braking are excellent. Acceleration - well, the AT is reluctant to downshift. Can be frustrating to drive in the 25 - 40 mph range and try to accelerate. Also at dead stop. Good on 75 mph interstate, however.
Sedan Problem Description = Repair record includes valve cover gasket replacement and leak in coolant hose. Also, gear selector jammed. Paint integrity has been disappointing. I consider this about par."
