I bought this car right before i went off to college in 2004 for about $1750. I just let it go a few days ago because it has a cracked head gasket which will be about $1000-1200 to fix- not worth it!!! But it lasted 5 years so I guess i got my money's worth in a way. But since having it I have gotten 2 water pumps replaced, a new radiator cap, a new belt, new brakes, new struts, a new battery, and a new alternator so it definitely gave me about 1 major mechanical problem a year. It also leaked oil. Also found out the hard way that the Low Fuel light doesn't work! Horrible gas mileage in my opinion, but could be because i never had a tune up. This car was always running hot!
A pretty good car

I bought it new. It had some small problems during warranty period, like the plastic seat belt anchor cover didn't install correctly (just needs to be pushed in), signal lamp socket got higher resistance than normal (one bulb is dimmer than the others) fuel injector wire loose, intake gasket leak, power window express down stopped working, front rotor warpped. All been taken care under warranty. After warranty expires, the things I replaced are battery and CD player. I think both were my fault, I left a the battery on charge and forget all about it. CD player won't take CD in cold weather, so I took it apart, it never worked afterward. The OEM CD player module was made in Japan.
Stay Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay away from this vehicle. We got the vehicle at about 75,000 miles, in a 3 year period to this date, we've since doubled it. In that period we replaced the tranny twice (2 x $750= $1500), all three motor mounts ($222), thermostat ($75), radiator & fan ($40, I got a hookup), starter ($160), ball joints ($50), alternator ($180), 2 power window motors ($250). For a GRAND TOTAL of about $2500. Now I have a water pump, alternator belt, ball joint, and possibly brake caliper to replace, bringing the GRAND TOTAL to $2800. This car is definitely not worth all of this moolah, so save yourself the trouble and money and avoid this car.
LEMON!!!

Perhaps I just got a raw deal, but my car ran less time than it was in the shop! I spent 1000 dollars in 6 months trying to keep it running!
absolute chaos

I love the car- we bought it used- but right around 110K everything started to go wrong. First the brakes, a motor mount, then the alternator, another motor mount, brakes (again), struts, starter, 2 more motor mount replacements, & the list continues. What a nightmare. Watch out!
