Every car has it's pros and cons. Every car under 30 grand is pretty much a shit box unless all you care for is high mpg and reliability like your civics and corollas. Everybody knew what this car can and can't do before purchasing.

I haven't had a single issue with the transmission and my car has seen single digit temperature. For every car that is having these problems, there's 20 of them that are not on this forum and not having these problems.
