Owner's Comments:
"This car has been reliable. No major
fixes. Lots of little mechanical problems though. The driver's
window will not go up so therefore [it is] useless. Left blinker
does not blink on its own. Gas gauge light has burned out on
the dash so cannot read at night. Lots of highway wind noise.
Uses oil but cannot find where it goes. Tailpipe clean and does
not drip on ground. This all happened before 60,000 miles. About
2 years of age."
