Faults:
Struts due to long sitting time.
Ball joints and tie rod ends.
Exhaust goes about every 30,000 miles at the flex pipe.
All new calipers and rotors @ 85,000 miles, rear brakes love to make god awful groans when in reverse.
Common injector failure @ 103,000 miles.
Rust coming thru in the quarter panel wheel well lip area on both sides.
Bose system has seen better days, rear speakers come on when they feel like, usually just in time for the front ones to take a break.
General Comments:
This car was and still is very fast, will beat just about any other early model 4dr 6 cylinder sedan out there in the 1/4 mile. Out on the highway with a chip I've been clocked @122 MPH (Thank you Canada).
Handles very nice good road hugging characteristics, strong 4 wheel disk brakes, very confident in the twisty's for a 12 yr old family car.
Engine sounds real good from 3 grand to the red-line, especially with an intake and exhaust.
A/C still cranks.
This car, other than its expensive injectors, is one of the most reliable cars out there. It makes the run from home in NYC are to college in the Detroit area about 10 times a year, then serves as a 25 mile daily commuter.
Comfort is great, it has plenty of room for all my belongings on those long trips with 3 or 4 of my friends.
White gauges that most companies are finally catching up with.
