Not a lot has gone wrong with it. Just small tedious things. Beware of Constant Velocity Axles on this front wheel drive car. I have replaced at least one per year.
Other than scheduled maintenance, the car is tip top. I keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and there is a slight oil leak, but that will come with any car that is 10 years old.
Air Conditioning still blows ice cold after all these years. It has only been recharged twice.
Extremely fast at the top end (137 so far).
Quick off the line and up to 60 also. It will spin in 2nd sometimes and I have an automatic!
Agile and quick through the corners.
Premium sound system (factory radio with digital sound processor).
Very fun to drive!
I've noticed a lot of vigor owners commenting about a small oil leak. This vehicle has an oil cooler that is attached to the engine with three bolts and the oil filter is screwed onto it.
There is an O-ring behind this oil cooler that gets hard ; when this happens a leak will occur. I bought an oil cooler O-ring kit for about $20 from the dealer it took me about 30 min to repair this problem. The only spot this car should leave is in peoples memory when it's gone. NO VIGOR should leak. Your friendly mechanic.MLC.
There is also a common leak behind the distributor, also an easy fix.
