All good...at first

Bought car with 38k. Love the projector lights and the awesome fuel economy (avg. 31 hwy) as I drive out- of-state a lot. Then bam!...fuel pump died without warning and I was stranded for 3 days. Right after the fuel pump, starter gear got stuck and ground down the flywheel a week later. And I love how the SES light loves to light up the car but nothing can be found wrong after having diagnostic tests. Coolant fans run all the time, even after sitting all night. Was a great car then the bottom fell out. Thank God for extended warranties that cover everything or else I would've been out almost $4k. Other than that it hasn't acted up...knock on wood.

I bought this car a few months after graduating college. I've luckily had no mechanical issues in almost 7 years. I've had a dead battery once, but it was 5-6 years old. I've also only had to put one set of tires on the car. I do have the upgraded wheels/rims that came with the sport package and have had trouble with one tire slowly leaking air for several years. All in all, I've been very happy with the car but will probably be getting rid of mine soon. It handled the transition from single to married to family of four just fine, but we had to get a mini-van when we found out child #3 is on the way. My parents have a 2002 L200, and the improvements to the bodystyle and car are great.

I got this car as a rental car and fell in love with. I like is so well that I am considering buying one. It drives and handles really good. I have really long legs and when I got into that car, I couldn't believe the leg room.

Excellent car, hated the previous year's exterior styling, but this year it's great!
