I would sum this car up to OK. It has good economy (37MPG highway) but tends to lack the goods inside. Lots of road noise even with new tires, arm rest breaks, rattles, no seat comfort, long trips can wear on the back and bum, and I guess I could go on for days. The running gear has caused a lot of problems for me. Car had 50K when purchased and the fuel pump failed (leaving me stranded) and lots of little things were broke. Catalytic convertor had to be replaced from the motor burning oil. The oil burning is out of control and is getting worse. At this point all of the suspension system has been replaced. Some maintenance is expected, but this all was before 110K.

It needs more power. Clutch feel is a little too sloppy, and it takes about 12-20 miles of driving to warm it up enough to get it shifting smooth. I also have a head gasket leak so it's dumping coolant in the engine and burning it off, and I have to dump a quart of oil in about every 1000 miles. Other than that, and the easy to crack plastic, the vibrating and crackling speakers, and the too small interior for me, it's OK. If you're looking for a cheap car it's fine.

Loved the first 2 1/2 years but seams like now everything is falling apart. Replaced a sensor,the horn has stopped working, repalced intake gasket and now the check engine light is on.
Pretty good car

This is my first leased vehicle and am pretty happy with it. It is not a sports car even though I try to drive it like one. I would never buy a 4 cyl engine but the SL2 has more power than a reg 4 cyl due to the dual overhead cams. The car has been pretty reliable. It has been in the shop to replace ignition switch and an auto window controller switch. Does great in all weather conditions.
