 Seats got better in 2000 but not 
great.  It handles well and 
predictible.  The factory tires really 
suck in rain.  I've had some 
transmission problems (pulsating in 
1st gear) but other than that it has 
been solid.  The mileage is about 20.  
I had a Subaru before this so it is 
different, but so far I enjoy it.
