This car is great. it has all the same features and benefits as any other luxury car at half the price of BMW and Mercedes. Think of it as the generic cloths brand as opposed to Abercrombie and Fitch. The 2000 model has even better features including heated seats. Talk about luxury. The battery and the engine will probably never need work, however the doors do scratch very easily and i do recommend getting an extra bottle of touch up paint. you all know that the Japaneese are always good at making stuff and this is not some cheap American car that will fall apart any minute.
