Consumer Description

THIS CAR IN SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS BECOMES IN SOME CASES NEARLY UNCONTROLABLE. IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE BACK END TRIES TO COME AROUND. I LOVE THIS CAR ON THE DRY BUT IN THE SLICK CONDITIONS IS BECOMES THE WORST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE NEW. I'VE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED ON IT, INSTALLED NEW TIRES ETC. AND NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LOW COST CAR FOR THE 1ST TIME CAR BYER BUT I'D NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE MUCH LESS AN ENEXPERENCED DRIVER. I WILL NOT LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT IF THE CONDITIONS ARE EVEN A LITTLE SLICK. IT CAN BE A TERRIFYING CAR TO DRIVE. *AK
