I bought the car less than a month ago and found it to be an awesome little car, the only issue i have had is the right front passenger door doesnt close properly and has to be slammed really hard for it to close or the door open light will come on, i brought it to the dealer and they said it just needed a lube on the hinges but it kept doing it, upon further inspection the dealer said it needed to be realigned and was a defect from the factory, the dealer has been really helpful with all of my other issues (minor things) including this one, so im not complaining about them, just the car which so far has been really good.
