GEM 2008 e2
Had great hopes for this car but in one year, the car needed a new battery pack (gels under 50% warranty cost $620), a new differential (it was leaking), a new charging cord, replacement door handles (the cords broke), the rear tail lights did not have waterproof material between body and lamp cover so water got in and rusted the bulb holder and now the differential is leaking again.

Awesome little vehicle..
But,. . .the stock rims and tires are more for golf cart grass. Was too bumpy on the street. I replaced the stock rims with a larger rim and taller tires so it's a lot better, but still a rough ride on potholes. I have the 2 seater..I'd imagine the 4 seater with the longer wheelbase would ride better. Also, hate the maintenance of checking water in the batteries so replaced those with maintenance free AGM batteries and life's a lot better.

Chris, How long have you had the AGM batteries installed? I just talked with GEM tech and they said they haven't tested the AGM's in the cars. We have had the gel cell in since 2002 and they have been great, but now it... more »
