    Cons: This car was the most problematic in your fleet, with the possible exception of the Dodge Dart. A battery that died on several occasions, a top that failed several times, and things like the peeling wheels. Most people who can and do buy this car will have a daily driver in addition to this so they wouldn't be stranded (unless they left this car at the airport), but do such people really need two high maintenance girlfriends in life? I thought the addition of this car was cool at first but the issues were a complete turnoff.

    Yikes! 33% depreciation over 8 months = $10,000 a month in depreciation. It's a good thing Edmunds didn't take that loss and the typical buyer wouldn't or shouldn't care.
