this is my "college car". i got a really good price on it, but have spent vast amounts on repairs. last summer it spent more time on a trailer or towtruck than under its own power. manual transmissions on these can be interesting, as almost all of them from what i have heard have the 1-2 or 2-3 grind at times, or a combination. also, gearbox is like peanut butter below F 20 degrees. on the other hand, my friend has the same car with 160,000+ miles and no problems.

After throwing over $1500 at this car to try to get the spark plugs put in correctly at the dealership, I have given up on this car...everytime they install them, one of them ends up cracked and the car runs badly....the design and placement of the engine is very poor. Because of a previous Ford purchase and this car, I will never spend my money on another one of their products.
Fun, Reliable, but some recalls...

In 8 years and 82K miles, the only repairs I had to pay for were, (1) to clean out an EGR port after the check- engine light came on, (2), replace the factory radio, which lost its digital mind after 7 years and (3), replace oxygen sensors. However, it had been in the dealer shop under recall to replace gas tank, seat belt anchors, cat converter, fan fuse, and the entire under hood wiring harness (a huge job!) and, the water pump, under warranty.
A ROLLING PEICE OF ****

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2001 WITH 27K MILES ON IT. I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THREE CATALITIC CONVERTERS. MY CUP HOLDERS BROKE. THE TRUNK LEAKS A LOT OF WATER ALL INSIDE IT WHEN YOU OPEN IT AFTER IT RAINS. THE CAR STALLS SOMETIMES AT LIGHT AND STOP SIGNS. SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING IT, THEN TURNING IT OFF, AND THEN TRYING TO START IT AGAIN, I HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL START.
