I'm thinking of buying this car...can you please tell me what are the known problems I should look for? Also, is it a good car (general opinion)? How about performance(speed,acceleration), consumption, maintainance costs, resistance to rust,...? The car has huge 18" wheels ... they look awesome but do they have a bad impact on performance or fuel consumption?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you very much.

Yes, larger wheel do have a impact on performace. Generally they will give you more responsive steering and better cornering and they will slow your cars acceleration and extend your cars breaking distance. It may not be enough to care about though if your not a racey driver.
