Unless you ignore an O2 sensor light that's on; that can plug a cat and also it can decrease gas mileage. In our state it will also fail inspection.

I personally wonder who are these people coming here and writing reviews saying they only had a CD player problem in 150000 miles? Who are these people? Of course, anyone can say anything on the Web - who will ever verify the information? I guess many of these people bragging about their miraculous cars, never actually even owned one. Perhaps they aren't even adults, surely some kids bragging around about their parents' car. Or perhaps just children dreaming about some car. This is Internet for you. Sometimes it brings you back to the school days when everyone was bragging about this or that about their family.
