The joint venture with Asia has created a smooth and strong engine which doesn't blink when tested. The sound system, interior, and finishings leave very little to question.

Pleased except for a few very expensive fixes...AC @ $64,000 miles. Recent $1000 expense to replace vacuum system behind dash to support AC system. Dealership has been very professional and helpful...a "10." Still pretty noisy after trying a variety of tires.

Such a beautiful car, expensive to own

I bought this car as inexpensive transportation. It looks great inside and out, and has a ton of great features, especially for an older car. So far everything works great on the inside, I've had problems with the car overheating and a blown headgasket. But, the car has almost 150k, so I guess I should be happy with whatever I get out of it.

It's "OK" but not worth the up-keep.

It's handles very well. I was very impressed with this aspect of the car. The comfort is so so for a big guy like me but my wife really enjoys. When I bought it they replaced the AC compressor and it's going bad 6 months later. I spent a fortune on a couple of oil leaks and some needed repairs. Got it home and the check engine light came on the next day which cost me about $500 more dollars. It's been back in the shop about once a month. The service guy told me last time I've replace most everything so it should be "OK" now. The sad thing is after spending all that money I still don't feel safe in the car. So, if your intrested it's for sale.
