i have been driving this car for 5.5 years... in that time only had to replace rear shocks @ 110K, the front brakes after 5+ years at 120K... not bad... doesn't burn oil... HATE low profile tires tho... one and only time i will have a vehicle with them... seats are uncomfortable for long drives but the engine has been reliable so far... one minor glitch just under 3 years with a valve that was replaced under warranty... i don't LOVE it but i don't hate it either...
