"Satisfied"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic intake manifold replaced at 120,000
Car smokes badly on warm days when stuck in traffic.
General comments?
She's a tired gal, but what a joy to drive. Lots of room, excellant handling, great heat and A/C. Best of all CVPI's are cheap to buy.
