Consumer Description

FRONT BUMPER GROUND EFFECTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DESIGNED TOO LOW. BESIDES SCRAPING IN DRIVEWAYS, THE BUMPER HAS BEEN PULLED OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN LEAVING A PARKED SPACE WITH A CONCRETE 'TIRE BUMPER'. THESE WERE OBVIOUSLY MEANT TO STOP THE TIRES OF THE CAR, AND NOT PULL THE WHOLE BUMPER OFF. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC LINING, WHICH WAS PULLED FROM THE BUMPER AND HAD WORN AGAINST THE TIRE. THE BUMPER IS NO LONGER SECURELY FASTENED AS THE PARTS ARE WEARING DOWN. CORPORATE WAS OF NO HELP AND WOULD NOT REIMBURSE OR SUGGEST A COURSE OF ACTION TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS CAR THROUGH THE TERM I EXPECTED AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND ONE TO ANYONE SHOPPING. TOO BIG OF A HASTLE TO DEAL WITH. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T GET THE SPORT SUSPENSION, WHICH WOULD HAVE THE BUMPER EVEN LOWER TO THE GROUND. IT'S NOT A FARRARI, FOR PETE'S SAKE.*AK
