What a cheap, plastick-y pile of shit that car was.
The CVT transmission was almost dangerously undriveable. You could never be sure if the car would go or not, when you pushed the gas pedal. So you had to mash it just to pull away from a red light. The computer would then decide, from the infinite possibilities, what gear ratio it would use. To "save you from yourself" and to try to maintain the overblown, false MPG rating . It was like luck of the draw.
If you had the audacity to touch any part of the dimestore interior, you likely left a permanent scuff mark.
The car was also large and hard to see out of. Which are acceptable downsides, when deciding to buy a large vehicle or truck. But in a supposed smallish family sedan, these were unacceptable.
The low profile tires and cheap build made every pebble and bump in the road travel up your spine to your cranium.
They managed to put both style and cheapness of build over substance. Quite an accomplishment.
I leased it for my daily driver and went $2000 more out of pocket just to trade it in after 18 months.
And, to the CVT transmissions: NEVER AGAIN.
