I have had my SE sport since Feb and I love it. I have noticed more problems posted with some of the older models...I have had none yet....Honestly though, it comes with just about any car you buy...they just aren't made like they used to be. The most regular problems I have read about here are moossing and water pump failure- both easy fixes. Good luck on your Decision. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to get an SVT or an MTX (I have an automatic). I am going to be getting the front and rear bumpers and side skirts for my SE...(my wife likes the way it looks)
