I have owned my car for 7 years. I have had a few problems with it as far as it stopping or not starting due to minor things like battery, cold weather and more. It has been 3 times it's stopped. Other than that it has been a great car. I paid it off and it has been saving me money ever since as I haven't had to take it into the shop. But then again I was the first owner so I made sure to take good care of it and drive lightly. If I were to buy a used sedan and was looking to save money, I'd get one. Otherwise, get a Toyota Corrola.
Not bad for what I paid

I've only had my car a year and it's proven to be well worth the $$$. I've only had to perform scheduled maintenance and it feels like a solid car for such a small layout. Mileage is in the low 30's and everything from the seating position to the gauge cluster to the control switches are nearly perfect for me. I wish mine had a power seat, tho; the manual controls are a little clumsy. There's also a low rev vibration that makes me think something isn't tuned or balanced correctly, but others I've spoken with have the same problem, so I'm assuming it's just part of the car. Overall, I think it's a great first car or student car for those on a budget.
Still going after all these years!

I bought this SL-2 in August of 2000. I put on approximately 20k miles per year. Aside from issues with the sunroof, and one of the power window switches (it broke off) it's been a great car! Now with 120k miles and 6 years on it I continue to get 30-35 MPG highway, and it still purrs like a kitten. Oh, and people think it's only a couple years old! Love plastic side panels!
Great short-term use car

I got this car new when I graduated high school in 2000. It served me well for about 5 years and then everything started going downhill. A lot of little problems added up to a lot of big bucks. The CD player ate my CDs, the stereo volume randomly changes, the horn stopped working, I had to have the ignition replaced twice because it kept locking up, the power locks had to be repaired, and lately I've had a lot of trouble starting my vehicle (was told it was the alternator, so it was replaced, but I'm still having the problem.) Also, the car rattles a lot due to poor integrity. On the positive side, it has awesome fuel economy. Overall, it's a good car for a student, but not for the long-term.
