 This car is one of the few I've owned that I considered worth holding on to as a second car.  By far the best value on the market for a V6 with manual, it gets > 30 mpg overall.  It's still a pleasure to drive and has had no major problems - except, strangely enough, it needed a new fuel pump at 60K miles - same as reported by several other users.  The after-market moonroof and optional CD/AM/FM system were worth getting.
