So far nothing major :) I had to replace the battery since the (non-original) one in the car was weak, and I would be stranded at times far away from home. New battery in, and it starts up every time.

Other than the battery, I just turn the key, changed the oil, and it runs beautifully.

I have noticed a little tiny wear "hole" (penny size area of thinner fabric) on the driver's seat where your rear-end would be. I don't think a seat should wear that much at 131K km's.

I did have ONE issue. I left the car parked on a hill (slight incline, a drive way), and when I cam back, started it, and went to put it from Park to Drive, it would not go past Reverse... I tried rolling it a bit back in reverse, thinking maybe there was a synchronization issue or something, but in the end I just had to lightly ram the gear in. (Just yank in one fast motion past reverse).

Power steering is a bit noisy, and the A/C is weak (not cold, even though I charged it this year).

General Comments:

The car is your typical American boat. The one thing I like about it, is that it features independent suspension at ALL FOUR corners of the car (like the Merc Cougar), and handles pretty decently... for a tank.

Gas mileage.. well, I average 12.6 L/100km with the V6 in combined city (majority) /highway (occasional) driving. I feather the gas though, and people often pass me because I don't accelerate like some 17 year old driving a Honda.

The car weighs 2.2 tons, so don't expect a zippy civic like reaction when you mash the pedal, especially with the V6. However, if loaded up with premium fuel, and you need it to move, the torque is there and it GOES! (I have had a few instances where I had to merge fast and it got me up to speed pronto).

Steering is a bit over assisted, and I always feel like I can't go too fast through a turn or else it will slide out of control (due to the weight).

Quiet interior, EXTREMELY smooth car to drive. If I chose a car to go on a road trip, it would be this one. Seats are like a sofa, lots of space for the driver (I am 6 feet tall and am very comfortable and have lots of room), not too much tire noise driving, and well dampened interior.

As for the styling... well let's say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I personally wouldn't buy this car for its "sexy" lines haha.

Car has been nearly bulletproof! Only breakdown ever was intake manifold cracked around 100000km, fixed under hidden warranty.

Has had the absolute bag driven off it for years, by me and my kids. Pulls a 18' boat in the summer.

Great handling, especially in winter on ice and snow with 150 lbs in the trunk! I park the SUV and drive this, as it will turn instead of rocketing off the mountain curves!

Gets 30mpg highway, and with the cat back, chip, and cold air, it moves out decent for a heavy car. Will pull away from my stock 99 Mustang GT from 70 kph on up. It really pulls good once it gets moving. Not many cars that have the comfort and the quiet this has, with the power and the handling for all it cost.

Seats are great, and it's one of the few cars out there where everything fits; you can actually put your elbows on the rests, lean back, and steer, unlike half the new ones out there.

I expect to drive it till it rots, as nothing came along that replaced it yet.
