I got this car in 2001, never thinking I'd still have it...and like it... twelve years later, but I do. There's very little I don't like about this car; it's still stylish, although not as sleek as some of the newer models, and is very comfortable. I can fit almost anything into it with the seats folded down, which makes it extremely practical for me, as I like to do a lot of home improvement projects and never have to worry about renting a truck to transport supplies. It's powerful, enough to tow boats, which we've done many times over the years, and when our son was in college, it was big enough to tote all his stuff back and forth at the beginning and end of the year. The car has spent remarkably little time in the shop and until recently, has never had any mystery sounds or symptoms; it's now making a low humming sound when turning sometimes, but I don't expect the problem to be severe...it usually happens after it rains, and I'll find out the cause soon when it goes in for it's yearly physical. The car has always handled extremely well and is phenomenal in the snow; I've always felt very safe in it and found it fun to drive. My biggest complaint about the car is the gas mileage, which has been around 15-17 around town, and maybe 23-25 highway...not great.
