General comments?

It took me from point A to B. I bought it during an urgency, although I would never buy this car. It's too uncomfortable, ugly and unreliable. Bad gas mileage too, although it performs pretty well with other cars of its size (Corolla, Civic). It was pretty fast, considering it was a V6 GLS Edition.

This car had high mileage, many of the things you mentioned such as - Battery, Tires & Bulbs, are just normal wear & tear items. Many of the others can be due to the high mileage on the car.
