 OVERALL: This car ('00 wagon 
w/everthing) is the best big purchase I 
have ever made.  
 42K mi. - no repairs and no major 
disappointments.
 INTERIOR: The A/C is really strong, but 
it sucks power.
 Cupholders are lame.
 Back seat is small, but it's fine if 
you're taking the work gang to lunch.
 FUEL: My one gripe has been fuel 
economy.  As bad as 21 mpg, as good as 
34 mpg.
 ENGINE: I can go >80mph and not feel 
like the car is straining.  It's pretty 
quiet for a 4-banger.
 SUMMARY:
 I'd get another in a second.
 I was considering the Focus, Legacy and 
VW Passat.  I saved $2K-$13K 
and got all the car I needed.
