Ordered February '97. Picked up with less than 10 miles on the clock in March of '97. 70,000 Miles right now. Way too many recalls. Couldn't start it one morning after my wife ran it for about 30 seconds the day before without warmup. Towed. New waterpump as a precaution @ 45K. Panel dimmer went. Front wheel bearing went. Couldn't fill the tank for a while because of flapper valve problem. Hit twice in rear bumper. Waiting for new main cat to arrive to be replaced under warranty. Car is getting rattles and squeeks. Rear suspension always made funny noises. Moosing. O2 sensor died. Shifter feels like tranny is packed with crushed ice!

But... Hasn't used a drop of oil. 23MPG over life of the car. Usually runs like a top! I guess I like it!
