Lot of repairs for such low milage

By Nana (NC) on Sunday, February 03, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 103,645

Pros: "great value, large interior, seats 6 people"

Cons: "no complaints"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

Personalized license plate

"When I purchased this car it had 96,000 miles on it. I have had it approx. 2 1/2 years. Since then I have had to have all 4 sensors replaced, the rack and pinion steering repaired, the catalitic converter replaced, the rearview mirror glued back on, the wiring repaired etc. All this before the odometer reached 100,000 miles. I love the interior of this car and it always starts right up but I didn't expect for so much to go wrong with it at such low milage. I am a big lady and this car fits me fine, much better than the bucket seats in my other cars."

worst vehicle ever

By Gennetter (AL) on Wednesday, July 04, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 192,000

Pros: "to many major repairs"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I bought this car when it had about 15,000 miles on it. I have had nothing but trouble. The car has had two rebuilt transmissions, one new transmission, one used engine and one new engine. And a myriad of very expensive repairs. It has been nothing but trouble since day one. I would NEVER EVER recommend this car to anyone."
