Fun, classy, sporty and economical

I bought one recently at a very good price. The car is in excellent shape, body is impeccable, mileage was adequate for year, and the motor runs and shifts like silk. I have no complaint whatsoever about the body style, motor, power, or reliability. Like one previous reviewer, I also think the hand brake could have been better placed and the shifter is indeed in the wrong spot. When putting a drink in the forward cup holder, you constantly hit it when shifting. Other than those two minor flaws, I give this car a huge thumbs up. It's six years old, looks like it came off the showroom floor, runs like it just came off the assembly line, and I look forward to many more years of fun with it

This is one of the most reliable cars I have owend. We had to replace a belt at $112.00 and the normal things. Still runs strong at 130,000 miles.

'99 SC2: Good, but not great.

It's ok for the money, but don't expect to get the same quality that you would in a Buick. Furthermore,the depreciation is pretty gruesome when compared to a Honda Civic.

My 1999 SC1

I had acquired my '99 SC1 from a friend I knew in high school. She had a custom sound system installed and a few other modifications, but most of the car was still stock. It was well taken care of. The only major problem I had was overheating during the summer months. Yet again, it's usually 105º here in Texas during the summer, and any car will have overheating problems when you're having to sit it traffic for over an hour. I've been driving it for about half a year now, and am pretty happy with it.

Reliable and Economical

I commute 80 miles one way to work 2-3 times a week. I now have almost 90K on this car and have had no major problems. I have been through one set of tires, one set of brakes, and two serpentine belts. I was also rear-ended pretty hard and only had a small dent in the bumper. Other than the rear passenger window not always going up, everything else still functions fine. The seating is a little low, there are no armrests and the brakes grab lower than I like. The dash vibrates a little on a cold start. All in all, I am quite satisfied and hope to get 150K on this car without breaking my wallet.
