Bought this wagon at 75,000 miles, now
has 104,000. Recently replaced
alternator ($300) and fuel pump/fuel
pump relay and related fuel supply
items ($500). No other major
problems. Quiet smooth ride. 3.1 V6
is healthy but not powerful. Power
windows, locks, tilt steering, w/fold
up seat in rear can seat 5 adults and 3
kids. Who needs van/SUV. 18/26 mpg
Best Features
Fold out rear seat can add two kids +
adults in main seating. Quiet smooth
ride. Power feature switches softly
lit for nightime use
Worst Features
MPG could be a little better, but not
bad. AC vent controls (rollers)don't
hold open, and were same on my '89
Century. Cup holder not sturdy.
We bought this car used with about
61,000 miles on it after searching for
a vehicle that would have sufficient
cargo room while driving like a car. We
believe we got an excellent deal as it
has been rock solid. Other than routine
maintenance, our only repair costs were
for a new muffler and alternator. The
car has plenty of cargo room and a nice
balance between power and gas mileage.
It's increasingly difficult to find a
mid-size wagon other than in the luxury
range, so we plan to keep this one for
2-3 more years, at least as a second
car.
