This vehicle purchased new was very impressive. It looked fantastic on the inside, reminding one of being in a space capsule. The outside was very aerodynamic, and it was very sleek with a great paint color. The car ran extremely well on a standard transmission. The interior amenities were plenty, worked as they should, and had a futuristic appearance. This should have been recognized as an omen for how wrong things would unfold. Very soon after purchase, things started to go terribly wrong. From a performance standpoint, it had to be placed in the shop for repairs. From the standpoint of accessories and the interior, things quickly began to break or wear down. In retrospect, I would never have bought this model car, and I certainly would not recommend it to others. It was the true example of what a "lemon" infers.
