Faults:

No major problems! Only a couple of minor (electrical) problems in 5 years of driving!

General Comments:

Great car; it is fun to drive and handles well.

Just two issues:

1. acceleration can be a bit sluggish on inclines.

2. Of the 5 cars that I have owned over the years, this is the only one where I have had some problem judging its size in small spaces. As a result have a bit of cosmetic damage from scrapes to the fenders.

Faults:

Alternator at 80k fixed myself in driveway, same time as:

Radiator at 80k.

EGR tube at 90k (dealer repair, $250)

Numerous rattles beginning at about 90k, sunroof shade, dash, door panels (I'll take the blame on those)

Driver's seat padding failing at 110k.

General Comments:

Test drove same night as a 96 Miata, mainly drove the Nissan to show how much better the Miata was, wound up buying the Nissan.

Above average acceleration, handling, Limited Slip differential helps, has Kumho Ecsta summer high performance tires, all stock suspension (at the moment).

Insurance high for young male, but I guess that's to be expected.

Still getting over 30MPG on trips, 25-30 on daily driver cycle.

Engine still as tight as day I bought it, thanks to Mobil 1 5w30 oil.

Suspension starting to show age, as is interior, will likely begin upgrading suspension in spring as well as addressing rattles in cabin.

I've owned 10 cars, mainly Italian, and keep most less than a year. I've considered selling this car on several occasions, but it's paid off and has been so fun and so reliable I'm afraid to get anything different. Still not tired of it after nearly four years. I haven't driven anything that comes close to the all around abilities of this car for anywhere near what I've paid for it. I figure once I get the suspension fixed (springs, KYB shocks, sway bar end-links) and the interior issues addressed, it'll be good for another 100k.

About 95000 miles, the air conditioner compressor with clutch bearings went out. It cost about 275 dollars for the part. When it froze up the serpentine belt went with it. The belt was only 15 dollars though. This is the only thing that went wrong with this car since we've had it. Aside from brakes and things of that sort.

General Comments:

This is a totally reliable car. It worked wonderful for us. The only reason we are selling it, is because we had a baby and we need more room. This is a really great car for someone with out kids. It doesn't have much get up and go. When you do get it going fast, it has no problems staying at high speeds.

Faults:

Since I got the car, the only things I have had to replace are the tires, the battery and the brakes, which are all expected for a car with this much mileage.

General Comments:

I think the seats are comfortable.

It retains its value quite well.

The interior of the car was well done. It still looks as good as new.

The gas mileage is excellent!

The only problem is that the acceleration is not that great, but once you get it there, it keeps going!

Faults:

This car is great. I have not had any problems at all.

General Comments:

The only thing that I would like to change is the horsepower. It's pretty fast from 40-60mph but after 60mph, it seems as though it does not want to go anymore. I have not had any problems in the ice, snow, or rain. The brakes are very strong.
