Some reliability issues as it ages. All of the steell lines(brakes and steering) have rotted. not bad for 140k. Alternator and brakes have been done. Too bad no one can build a car with reliable rear brake calipers. Good bang for the buck.Jul 04, 2010

it has a spacious interior, adequete acceleration, good on the gas mileage, and fun to drive. The handling is smooth and the maintenance is relatively light if the car is newer and wasn't previously owned by a columbian drug dealer.Aug 12, 2009

so so. reasonably well built for its age good appearance overall. some really good features included low maintenance. goes well for its age. not a racing car in any way. Great for touring the country side or packing the family in for a day out. nice driving down country roads, handles fairly well.Oct 08, 2008
