About three years ago my father-in-law purchased the aforementioned
auto because it was supposedly "Car of the Year" in somebody's book.
He has had so many problems with it that he can't find one good
thing to say about it. He's had it in the shop twice for the
transmission with very expensive repair costs both times. I can't
remember all the other things, but there's a bunch. The topper is
that he purchased the additional warranty deal and yet almost
all the problems were excluded from coverage. He's thoroughly
disgusted with it.
