The only upgrade I would consider, would be to trade it in for newer models. But would not be a requirement.Apr 16, 2021

I love the engine and transmission combo in this car, and it's also the best handling car I've ever owned. You do need to purchase a couple of specialized tools for maintenance, but otherwise it has been a good, reliable car.May 18, 2015
