General Comments:
The car is 14 years old and it still jerks my head back everytime I hit the gas.
When I first bought this car, I thought it would be a heavy luxurious car with adequate power. Boy was I wrong, it has a lot of power.
The interior has also held up very well, no cracks in the dash.
I had to replace the climate control with a unit from a 96, because the 93 to 95 models had thin buttons that cracked.
It still has the original stereo with a factory 10 disc changer that has worked flawless since I have owned the vehicle. It even plays my burned CD's.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

There is someting about these cars that really gets you attached to them. Maybe it's the power, or the luxury, or even the rarity, I don't know what it is, but I will keep my opal grey 93 forever no matter what it takes to keep it running.
