So I bought the car from the dealership and I noticed it ran roughly. They said this was normal for this car and another forum seemed to hint that as well. Well first month the alternator went. Now cylinder 4 has low compression and scoring in the walls! I don't drive nascar. I was driving 55 mph and tried to pass a slow car and tried to accelerate to 60 mph. Next thing I know the car acts like it slammed into park and i nearly headbutted the steering wheel. After that it ran poorly and shifted randomly. Turns out the motor is not factory sealed properly and the seals wear out way early. There was another ahead of mine for an engine issue! I have not had my car for nearly 2 months because of a factory flaw they refuse to recall. I love this car. Just hope this time is the last repair for a while. Otherwise car is excellent. Great fuel economy and lots of fun bells and whistles. Just be warned.
