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.

Im thinking about buying this vechile.
Get an extended warrenty!
Car had lots of little problems, including about 4 factory recalls. Once we hit 80K miles, the whole thing started to fall apart. We had the timing belt replaced twice, and something is making noise again. Was reliable but now I don't trust it. Many of the plastic panels, etc. have fallen off the interior, although it is only slightly noticable. Front power window motors both broke around 75-80K miles.
Has been a good car
It has been a good car, has not needed alot of repairs. A good driving car.
