LEMON
Tires wear out every 20K REPLACE TIMMING BELT BY 60k mine broke at 59600 - only 400 miles and it wouldn't have been warranteed (over $1k) in internal damages.
Sorry it went bankrupt
I have the 5 spd tranny, avg 32mpg, I have had it up to 45mpg travelling cross country. Nice acceleration when switching back to full cruise. Topped out at 122mph (not that I ever did this) can use a rear spoiler for better control. Had to replace RT lower contol arm, replaced timming belt @ 50K since I live in Alaska. Overall a good car IMHP.
Very happy with it
Bought new, and it's been good to us. We had a few minor issues: the timing belt snapped at 40k and thank goodness it was still under warranty. Other than that, only minor interior gripes: Overhead hand grip screw covers fell off, and the backlight went out on the environmental controls. Tires from stock were not the best. We are starting to develop a little corrosion on the aluminum roof rack, but after 6 years - not unexpected.
Not bad for the price.
Bought the car used for $3000. Manual, only had 29k miles on it at the time. First week, needed new engine, water pump, timing belt, etc. Since then, needed few other parts, but for the price I'm paying, I really can't complain. You get a lot for your money.
Garbage
Bought this car new. After warranty expired, had nothing but problems. What went wrong early on: CD player, air conditioning, ABS, heater cores (had to be replaced twice!), windshield wipers, alarm, head gasket. Struts seemed to wear out quickly. That's what I can remember off the top of my head, apart from normal maintenance! Spent thousands keeping this piece of rubbish on the road. That is, when we were able to get the parts. Because it sometimes took days for parts to arrive, we would have the added expense of renting a car. In a way, it didn't do too badly..finally retired it 4 days ago after 154,000 miles (bought new Honda Civic - love it so far!). DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!
