Hopefully I'm not feeding a troll... I love this car because I can put my wife, twins, and a weeks worth of luggage in this car, drive to Michigan in the Dec. snow, and be very comfortable while averaging 25-30 mpg. Then I can take everything out and have a blast driving it through the curves, and can run with Bmw's, audi's etc., all day long. The car is very exciting to modify, because there are so many different things you can do to it, and it is very reliable. I know it has problems, but every car does. Keep in mind this is a car that was only in production for 5 years. The reason you only hear complaints is because people don't write letters and call people if they don't have problems. I have 160,000 miles on mine, and the only thing I ever replaced was a water pump that wasn't broken. (although I have a problem now but the troublshooting forum isn't working for me) Also as for the looks, beauty is all about perception. I think some of the contours look very aggresive and agile, and some just look kinda clumbsy. I don't know what the differences are, but they all have personalities. Just try looking at the cars in a different perspective, and you may be surprised how your thinking will change.
