What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission was rebuilt at 120,000 miles.
The master cylinder needed replacing at 90,000.
All engine mounts were replaced by 120,000 miles.
The drivers door handle broke. (very annoying).

General comments?
This car was very reliable. It started every day I owned it without any problems.
Legroom was better than all the cars I considered buying. I am 6'2.
Car was very nimble to drive. The steering is near perfect.
The seats could use more padding for long trips.
Great visibility from drivers position.
