Took my Platinum issues to my dealer again. I'm so tired of the rumbling rattle in the front end that I begged for a trade that I could swallow. I looked at the Limited, drove it, liked it, but...I know I would never be happy with the engine power, or lack thereof. The Limited did offer one advantage...I'd get some money back. The Platinum offer left me with an out of pocket expense of $6,400. Even so, I agreed, just to get rid of the car I was driving.
I took the Platinum off the lot, planning on giving it a good run. I didn't manage to get it home before returning it because it was making the same rattle! The dealer drove it, agreed that the rattle existed, and said he was taking it to the shop with orders to find the rattle before returning it. We'll see. Guess I just saved $6,400 but I'll have to keep this miserable piece of junk.
