Good car till you put mikes on it
Let’s see where do I begin.At first it was a great car then at 60,000 miles radiator went out. Then Ac. The parts under the hood are made of plastic crap. Took very good care of it but at 151000 miles transmission was gone. 130000 miles the clock spring broke and the horn would just sound while driving. Started stalling
