Owner's Comments:

The car is pleasure to drive on nice, clear days. However, in wet, snowy or icy conditions the car handles poorly: hydroplanes in we conditions and slides in snow and ice. The tires began showing wear at 18,000 miles and were replaced by Goodyear at 23,000 for excessive wear and being "out-of-round." I have heard this is a problem with the 17" tires. Parallel parking is a challenge with the flat raised rear profile of the car. Looks great but I would not buy another.

Trouble free? No. New tires and alignment problems before 20,000 miles and replacement of the front seat heaters.
