Smart looking but the driving/ owning doesn't match the looks
Bought this car new a couple of years ago as a run-around for my wife (she loved the looks). It has been a disappointment to own and drive.
It has been unreliable (battery not holding charge for 2 weeks & air-conditioning system leaking), the dealer has been hopeless (had to go back twice for both issues). Also the black seat fabric has been stained by raindrops leaving little white rings on the fabric.
The car doesn't have a good suspension for sleeping policemen or potholes and the 4-speaker stereo system is the worst I have ever heard in a car (also had to go back to be fixed under warranty as it was loudly buzzing - loose speaker apparently).
