 The automatic transmission 01M of this car made between year 1999-2003 are known to be the most unreliable transmission ever made. Look for it online, there are so many reports of these transmission breaking down from 100k to 150k miles. Mine is even considered a good case, where it broke down right after 200k miles, but throughout my ownership of the car I dropped so much many to fix and maintain the transmission, that in the end, I don't think it is worth it.Pros: Gets decent MPG. Can reach high speed. The manual version seems reliable from reviews.Cons: Horrible auto transmission. Loud. Weak acceleration. Expensive to maintain.
