Well when I bought the car I was informed that the head-gasket and timing chain had been replaced recently (approx.100,000 miles)
I had to replace the power steering pump recently approx. 108,000 miles ($230) did it at home in driveway.
The starter went a month after I got the car. ($300 with labor)
The driver side power window sticks closed and rattles when only 1/2 open.
The Pulley Tensioner bolt for the power steering pump was missing since bought so the belt becomes loose every 500 miles or so resulting in a squeak when turning.
Transmission has had a small leak since I bought the car (stupid me) and has resulted in the transmission slipping when going up a steep hill and low on fluid.
Overall the car hasn't been that bad for a newer car.
This car has its ups and downs parts are not the cheapest, but most newer cars parts are pricey.
Car corners excellent!!! it takes corners like no car I've ever owned.
Lacks power, but is not bad for a 4cyl. considiering my last 3 cars has a V8.
Car is just downright sexy,the only thing I had to fix cosmetically on this car was the "fogged"over headlights which I just purchased a pair of $45 headlight covers that make the car a show stopper.
Love the 16" rims love the sound of the car, has great stereo stock, but I upgraded with pioneers for speakers and sub-woofers.
Overal a great daily driver with stunning looks, decent performance and millage, can tackle almost any corner, and has unlimited customization possibilities if budget permits.
