The cv joints/axels went bad after 2 years and ive got by till now but the rattle is annoying. The exhaust sys also rattles. Front tires go yearly. Air conditioner never has blown cold. And the door on the glove compartment is to heavy for the latch, I ride 6 mnths of every year with an open glove compartment.the hatchback leaks, and the paint well, who knows where they got that blend. …”
