I had no problems with this car. The transmission seemed to slip every once in a while. The shop did not find anything wrong with it.
However, the power windows started going slow in the up position.
The ES Limited is the top model in the Premier line. Its European look and capable performance is a great combination. Every aspect of this car is wonderful.
The seats are very supportive.
The general appeal of the car is a low price and a great ride!
Fixing windows and horn are easy, but labor intensive. The vertical guide the window rides up has to be greased, I suggest white lithium grease. Pull the door panel off and with the window up, slather that grease in the guide and it will be fine. The horn has two brass plates as the button. Take the horn button assembly off and take the cover off. I put two toothpicks, one on the left and one on the right sides, between the two plates, to separate them, and that worked for about a year. Next time I'm in a restaurant, I'll get two more toothpicks. The oil leak is coming from the distributor, which is directly attached to the camshaft. It has an o-ring that fails, uses the fan belt to spray minute amounts of oil you can see on the radiator hose, but never really seems to deplete the oil level. Don't worry about it. Nobody wants your car anyway. They should write a "Zen and the Art of Eagle Premier". All Hail the Eagle Premier!
