This is an awsome car. There is very little more you could want, except maybe the AWD and Turbo offered in years past.
Nice Car

I own a 2001 GT with a 5 speed. I have had no problems with the car other than the sunroof shaking when it opens. This is a common problem that I will get taken care of. The engine is the car's best feature; silky smooth with respectable torque. Build quality is decent and have not had any problems with the paint so far. The back seats are extremely cramped, really only suited for small kids. Good value for the money but can be pricey if you get all the options. Gas mileage averages 26 mpg with a high of 30 mpg on trips driving the speed limit.

Unreliable Transmission

I bought this car brand new on 2001 valentine's day. Drove 80K and sold it in 2007. Positive: fun to drive, stylish, V6 is really powerful. Negative: after 10K miles the heat won't work immediately (take 30 mins. This is bad during winter, especially living in NY), transmission problem after 75K (Costs $1200-$3500 depending upon the type of mechanic and new/old part used), there are minor electrical problems, mainly the headlight won't work every 6 months. The power steering takes larger curve. I could never make a smooth U turn in the last 7 years - it was always broken U turn.
It's a blast

I purchased this car in 10/2000 with ABS, leather seats, sunroof, 4-CD in- dash changer, power driver's seat, fog lights, etc. I have put on 33K miles on the car.
An underestimated beauty

I bought this car when I graduated high school, and have loved every minute of it! The aggressive stance and throaty exhaust note were two of the first things that attracted me to it. That, and all the looks I got from people when I would pull up to a store. Now while I have added to it (custom cold air intake, short throw shift kit, lowering kit, custom cat- back exhaust, and after market wheels and tires) the car has needed little work to make it a blast to drive.
