"A sports car without the sporty price tag"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced oxygen sensors at 68,000 miles.

Replaced Ball Joints costs $600.

To replace timing belt - parts and labor costs $340.

Paint job is wearing out badly, considering a repaint.

Hatch doesn't hold - I use a stick to hold it if I have to use.

Passenger side Door Panel came loose at 68500 miles - not fixed yet - doesn't bother me (the driver :) )

Replaced front tires - $112 each - still need to replace back tires - financially dangerous!!!

General comments?

I drove this car to DC from Buffalo, NY and not a hitch - average speed was 100mph on trip.

Can accelerates from 0 - 70mph in 6 seconds. I look on Mustangs with pity as I leave them in the dust. A guy is a Mustang gave me the middle finger after I passed him and he couldn't catch up. ha ha!!

Best car I have owned - Wonder if I'll give it up except I will get a Corvette or a newer performance car.

Good car for those with some mechanical ability - expensive to fix and replace parts.

It does handle corners like it should.

I need to replace the wheel bearing soon - about $400.

I am seriously considering buying a Ford Probe, the excitement and sense of admiration in reviews such as this are convincing me fast!
