Faults:
Needed a new alternator at 64,000.
Odometer stopped working when alternator was replaced, keeps going back to 64,000 every time car is restarted. No idea how many miles are on the car.
Driver side window breaks all the time. 3 times so far.
Driver side window will roll down, but not back up until the car has been shut off and then restarted.
Odometer numbers disappear sometimes; have to hit instrument panel to get them to come back on.
Volume knob on radio comes off sometimes.
Volume sometimes will go up when you try and turn it down.
Cover on brake pedal came off.
Car makes loud screeching noise in winter if I don't allow it enough time to warm up.
A/C and heat is either too hot or too cold.
Cup holder is in an awkward place, and sometimes cups will knock into the gear shift, throwing me into another gear.
Does this weird shaking thing sometimes when I stop; it's not the brakes, I have them replaced regularly.
Driver side speaker went out.
General Comments:
Has a lot of pick up.
Has good gas mileage. I can drive 320 miles home going between 65 and 80 mph on one tank of gas.
I am really rough on cars (3 minor accidents) and it hasn't fallen apart on me.
I don't get oil changes as much as I should, and the car still works great.
Feels very safe.
Fun to drive.
Affordable.
I drive almost 800 miles every month (I go to law school 5 hours away from home) and the car has not yet given out on me on the highway.
Reliable.
Sporty.
