This is unpossible. Everyone on the internets says so. They're junk and won't last at all.

However, welcome aboard. I'm impressed with your mighty, er I mean, steaming pile of junk!

It is a steaming pile of junk but I it obviously can be to bad I haven’t spent that much money beside replacing broken cheap interior crap. 5 wheel bearings almost 6. 16 sets of front pads 3 sets of rotors and over the top maintenance. Thank you for the warm welcome ��

Belated welcome, Ddmrcsen22!

I don't know if you've discovered it yet, but one of our more prolific members here maintains a fleet of these little turd pails used as delivery cars.

That's an aggressive preventive maintenance schedule for the rubber band transmission. Keep us posted!

I have not but now I’m intrigued, I took the most of the interior out of mind back seats headliner, almost like a mini mini cargo van ha. Aggressive yes absolutely but it keeps my mind at ease and just seems to be working so I’m sticking to it.

Jesus. 16x brake pads? So about every 30k miles? I dealt with a bad wheel bearing but not 5. 5 ain't normal even with 255k miles right?

Lots a braking so they don’t last because they are small. I don’t know why I’ve had an issue with wheel bearings on this car, I think it has to do with cheap eBay parts because I’m cheap.

Do you do courier work with yours? I can't wrap my head around the brake pads... I got 110k out of my OE set...

I'm only at 25k - 26k on mine, so it is just a toddler. However, being a stick and me coasting my speed down and trying to roll through as much traffic as possible and using as little brakes as possible, I doubt I'm going to need much maintenance. There's no indication at this time that the car needs anything. The tires still look good. I'm liking the Enasaves, but won't pay 3X as much as several other choices ... when the time comes. Could be years.
