This car has been completely trouble free up until last week. I would say my maintenance has been poor at best. I've run it on nearly empty oil, I only have changed the auto tranny fluid once. The brakes have been repaired twice. I've switched spark plugs 3 times now, and plug wires once. That is it for maintenance. It has 172,000 miles on it! (mostly highway driving I think it cost me $16,000 new. They have incredibly poor resale value, which is beyond me, but i will definitely try and land another used one to replace this one. I am currently trying to solve its first major problem, an injection issue. It is also easy to work on! A great work car, commuter car or first car. It also holds a bit more than most sedans, comes in handy when you buy a washing machine, dryer or big TV.
Inexpensive, reliable, capable

I bought the right car for the wrong reason -- to get traction control. It has proved to be trouble free, reliable, good cargo hauler, good external appearance with little care, very good gas mileage (40 mpg), cruises at 80-85 with no difficulty.
I adore my '99... still!!!

I purchased my SW2 planning to haul small loads in the back, and it fit the bill nicely. Very few problems with the car, and those were minor. Overall the TCO has been low, and I plan to get several more years out of it. Maintenance costs have been low too, especially since there's no timing belt to replace and the exhaust is stainless steel.
BEST CAR EVER!

FROM THE EASE-OF-SERVICE TO THE MILEAGE, COMFORT, FEATURES, AND COST OF OPERATION, IT'S THE BEST . . .
