Bought this car off my uncle in 2007. No one drove the car fully until around 2011, when I started to practice driving. The car is cute, stylish and small...but don't even get me started about the problems I have had. The wiring harness was one of the largest things I had to repair. In July while I was driving on the freeway, right as I exit the freeway on my way to class, I feel the car uncontrollably shake. I pulled over, stopped the car turned it off and wait 1/2 hr. I turned it back on..no shaking. I put it in drive and it begins to shake again..I drive it to an empty parking lot and turn it off yet again. Turn it back on after another half hour and then it was working fine for about 30 seconds then it began to shake. Once I hit 30 mph the car was fine, but anything under that made it shake. I had no choice but to drive it 5 miles to class, instead of getting it towed I drove it to the mechanic another 5 miles away. It was still shaking. He told me the wires were cracking all over, and I would have to pay to get a whole new set of wires; because if i replaced just one the others may have the same problem. I have driven my car more times to the mechanic than anywhere else. I decided to sell it to a dealer for $1500...
