Exhaust (complete piping) went three times. The second time it was Midas's fault as they did not properly install it.
Seat belts needed to be serviced due to a recall.
Gasket blew and caused the car to leak oil really bad.
Body rusted out after about 6 years.
Gas tank leaked.
Struts+Shocks.
Wheel bearing.
Transmission went at 225,000 KM.
A few other things went bad with the car that I do not recall.
This car performed well in it's first few years. Cheap on gas, easy ride etc..
This was a fairly low maintainenace car. Was very economical and reliable.
Car ran very well until 200k.
The engine still runs great and do another 100,000 however the transmission requires replacement and is just not worth it.
Stay away from the automatic version of these cars, the 3 spds are extremely weak and don't last long.
