Wonderfully hushed ride quality on the highway.

The compact size makes it easy to maneuver in traffic.

              Complete dash malfunction, none of the cluster gauges work. Started when I started the car one morning.

              Pros - Dealer not able to find problem yet .

              Cons - I bought extended warranty and getting the feeling it will be something not covered !

              Won't know until my car is fixed at no cost ! Dealer Name: Della Cadillac | Dealer City: Glens Falls We will be back for review after my car is fixed .
