This has been a great car overall. Good (not great) on gas, excellent handling and fun to drive, even with the 2.0l and auto trans. The seats are comfortable, even for longer drives and there is plenty of room for 4 or 5 if they are little ones in the back seat. Decent trunk size.
Some issues
1 - rusting. These cars are bad for it especially around the rear
wheelwells, trunk and rockers. I have managed as best as I
can with frequent Krown spraying.
2 - lousy audio system for reception, both AM and FM
3 - now that it is 9 years old many noises from the rear
suspension - replaced 2 springs and still harsh over bumps.
Overall been a great car - almost 200km and never let us down!
