I bought this car new. It was my first car that I have every owned. I wanted a reliable car that would get good gas mileage as I began to drive to and from work. I got one of those things correct when I bought this car. I got a car that got pretty descent gas mileage. That is about it. Ever since, the car has been nothing but problems. In all reality, this car is a lemon. To start, there was a recall on the power steering. I noticed that the power steering was really tight about two years into having the vehicle. Luckily, it was covered under the recall. Then there was another power steering issue with the chip that controls the steering. I was outside of the warranty, but luckily my local dealer repaired it for me with no cost (would have been a few thousand). I have gone through multiple starters with this car as well. The car drives very well and handles great. It also is quite a fast little car for only small V6. The quality of the interior and exterior are great, but the engine is horrible. Gas mileage is okay, at about 28-30 mpg.

This car was my first car purchase. I loved that it had power locks, power seats, good air condition and good heat. I loved that it had a sunroof. One of the things I don't like about the car is that it rusts really easy on the bottom of the car. The rust is in fact very bad on both sides of the car. Overall, it was a good first car.
