I reviewed this car very highly, all though my particular model which had been a rental at one point did suffer excessive road noise due to faulty weather stripping and sound proofing. I accept this as a fault with my particular model, rather than a general problem with the model. Driving this car was a pleasure, and I felt that particularly for it's era it was packed with a good amount of features. Mine was the 4 door sedan targeted at families. I had two accessory sockets up front which was fantastic, as well an acceptable AM/FM/CD system. Also, as a bit of a car guy I really appreciated the growl the engine made, it was nothing too dramatic as it's only a 4 banger, but for the size engine it was satisfying. I went 7 years before needing my first major repair item, a fuel pump. Replacing this however cost $800 as it requried a new harness. Another costly item you will encounter is the timing chain needing to be replaced before 150,000 (check owners manual for recommendation). Mine was diagnosed with a small head gasket leak, so I ended up selling it. But it pained me to do it, I loved (and still love) this car.
