No performance and very low quality build. Seals on the doors and sunroof were leaking at one point in time. Back seat latch to keep seat up has broken, leaving the seat to constantly fall when stopping a little too fast. Interior (dashboard, console, etc.) cheap low quality. It has been reliable so far, however.
Great car

I purchased my '01 SC2 used at 48,000 miles. I never had really any problems with it except for my upper motor mount collapsed at about 75k. All in all, I loved this car before I traded. It could have a little more power, but seeing as though it isn't made anymore, that won't happen. I traded at 77k. I wanted something with a V6.This car has a very sporty look and was very realiable. With routine maintence it will last for a long time.
Do not buy.

I've had my yellow 2001 SC2 since June 2000 and have 65000 miles on it. The rotors have warped at 10k, the transmission gave me problems going into reverse. Try parking without reverse! The cooling sys needed repair, the serp belt churps, the steering wheel squeeks when I turn, and it makes all kinds of noise on the highway. It is slow off the line. The auto transmission just is not right for the car. The headlights had to be replased because they filled with moisture. It failed the New York emmissions (nox) inspection last month. The third door is a waste if your parked between two cars in a lot.
Automatic Transaxel Problems

Overall it is a great car, corners very well, and accelerates quickly. On the other hand the car has only 35k miles on it and the transaxel is going out. Will not go in reverse (unless cold) and shifts hard into 2nd. This is the automatic transaxel though.
Hate to see it go

Car had incredible gas mileage, at 70mph, averaged 39mpg. Decent power output compared to its competition. Amenities galore. Although their "no haggle pricing" seemed to change greatly when I walked off with a check and no car the first time.
