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.

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.

Also, hate the maintenance of checking water in the batteries so replaced those with maintenance free AGM batteries and life's a lot better.
