 I have owned this car for about 2 1/2 years, and I would have to say I have had my share of problems.  A few months after I got it, I was left stranded because it just wouldn't start (only clicked). After replacing the solenoid at 30k miles the car did ok.  The tires seem to wear down quicker then any other car I've had. About a year went by with no problems then I got a transmission leak at 55k miles. Can't forget about all the recalls including the fuel pump that died on me as well. Also about a month ago the ignition decided to lock up, leaving me stranded again. And just the other day my alternator went which cost $350.  Besides that, the car isn't too bad.  I would recommend a newer model.
