| The first problem i have encountered is the poor body of the car. the panels below the car have completely diminished. anything remaining of them is either rotting and rusting away, or has paint removed from them. the paint is also coming out of the front plastic bumper and from the front hood of the car. some rust is also appearing at the sides. when i step into the highway at the speed of a minimum 100 km/h, this trash is anything but quiet. apart from the engine, which is now broken, the gaskets or whatever keeps the air out doesn't keep it out. instead, some air comes in and thus making that noise; like having your windows open and getting all that noise of the air. it's no different when closed. the rubber seal of the doors is extremely poor in this regard. my second problem has been the engine. my engine's motor is broken down. no mechanic can fix it. i tried to go through chevrolet and one of their local dealerships. but just the cost of refurbishing my engine would aproximatily add up to $2,500 (might as well buy a new car instead!). | |||
