This is an excellent commuter car. I purchased this car to travel over 40 miles (one way) to work. It has had no mechanical issues whatsoever. It has almost 90,000 miles on the odometer and is still bulletproof. I bought this car from Hertz Car sales at a firesale price and have made an excellent decision (value/reliability/comfort). The fuel economy averages between 30 -36 mpg highway. I get in the high 20's in stop and go driving. I do agree that the paint chips very easily (especially the hood) and the dashboard is a little funky (no tachometer and good placement for cupholders but puddles form below on storage cubby). It provides easy access to the engine (plugs/filter/oil changes) for do it yourselfers!. This car is an excellent buy obscured by popular Honda/Toyota models.
Great Car!

I've had this car since 2002, and it has been the best car. Super reliable. Holds up to normal wear and tear very well. Styling looks pretty good too (kind of looks like the A4 from the same time period!). Good gas mileage. Never had any major problems. I would buy this car again for sure. Very very under rated.

This was my first car and have owned it for over 3 years.Bought it at 104k and it i now at 145k. Only problem ive had so far was the a/c compressor went out at 110k but you have to expect things to break with this many miles. I has been totaled 3 times and still runs like a champ. Besides routine maintenance and the a/c compressor it has been very reliable so far. I am a delivery driver and my other job is a long commute so alot of those miles were hard on it and i also have a pretty heavy foot. I average around 22mpg which is good considering my lead foot and it is alot of stop and go traffic on long island plus it is also an automatic.
So Far So Good

So far this has been the best car I've owned. I drive this about 25 miles to work in stop and go traffic mainly and have taken it on road trips to Vegas. The AC is OK and it did beutifully in the 119 degree weather. I get about 28 mpg on a normal day and got about 34 mpg on my road trip. It handles great and is pretty quiet for this class of car, though there is some wind noise around the windows. Its speakers are pretty good. It is lacking in low-end torque, but has enough juice to get me out of hairy situations. I had one problem with the A/C draining water into the car, but it was a two second fix. The tube had clogged and a little squeeze was all it took. Keep up on the oil changes!

I am the third owner of this car, my sis bought on 2001, then my bro took over, then I bought from my bro, it has almost 150,000 miles now and its running strong, very good on gas. I get about 31-32 mpg w/city/hwy combined and running on 17'inch wheels. I've had no major problems w/this car, just only minor maintenance, I will keep this car as long as its alive.
