 I bought this car brand new off the lot. I didn't have any problems for a very long time; just normal maint.  ~110K my transmission died w/ no previous indications there was a problem. Replaced a cracked radiator @ ~90K.  Never replaced windshield or headlights. 4 things I've always complained about. 1.The LCD display on the CD player is nearly impossible to read. 2.The fact that the CD player tells you when it's too hot is an extremely bad design flaw. 3. The top coat on door handles & side mirrors is gone. 4. Upholstery all the way up to the window? Terrible place to have fabric after 9 years of resting your arm there. Vinyl on my next car, please...
