The car Zusuli Foprenza is the worst piece of crap i've ever bought., People please don't buy it. you will regret from 1st day. My engine broke on second week of purchase and the customer service and time it took to fix was agonizing. It took 6 hours for their warranty tow truck to show and when they did they had an attitude. I broke down in the middle of town and was scared for my life. They didn't consider anything or the fact that I was a female stranded in the city of Detroit...

This car is the biggest piece of crap I have ever driven. It has given me nothing but trouble, and I have had to pay out more money to fix it then its worth. I am very unhappy, and I feel like I have be screwed over. This damn car almost killed me and my children when the clutch and slave cylinder took a dump going 60mph on a very busy hwy. They should take their cars back and give us our money or new cars.
