Bought new. Very dependable little car. Lost the transmission with 155K showing. The timing belt replacement was a lot, but for a "throw away" car, it's been fantastic. So much that we're looking a Chevy Trax because it reminds us so much of the Cruiser, BUT, the Cruiser is here to stay. Still looks and drives pretty good (a good "ten footer" now). Wish we had gotten the turbo. Will make a great spare now.

problem from the beginning

My problem is that I have had multiple front end and suspension problems. In four years I have had multiple wheel bearing, three sets of lower control arms and numerous trips to the dealship complaining about the rattle in the front of my car. Now I have more suspension problems, a broken motor mount and a blow head gasket. It is a shame because I really love my car just hate the poor design.

I've had to make 2 repairs The lower control arm bushing at around 52,000 cost $530 and the cooling fan at 67000 $900. I don't think these items should have worn out at the low mileage.

this is a great little car and has multi purposes. it once fit a new 32" screen door inside, by folding one rear seat, and the front seat. My wife sat in the other part of the rear seat behind me while I drove home from Home Depot. plus its a lot of fun do drive

this is one fast car. engine feels like a v6 rather than a I4. lots of pep for tackling hills and overtaking with stock ECU. stock HP and torque numbers are impressive enough (220HP / 245 ft-lbs.) but i installed the stage 1 upgrade. the 17" rims with 50 series tires inspires confidence when taking corners. impressive cargo space. gotta love that versatility. turning radius is too wide for this vehicle but that's the tradeoff for having larger rims. the stock goodyears breakaway immediately on rain-soaked roads.
