Faults:

3 or 4 starters needed to be replaced over the years.

Driver's door switch for dome light and chime has stopped working.

Broken rear transmission mount, which was recently replaced.

Power Steering fluid leak at rack and pinion.

Proper steering alignment is difficult to maintain.

Needed to replace my harmonic balancer pulley. Old one began to chatter at low rpm.

General Comments:

Overall, I really like this car because contrary to the above mentioned, I find the car to be very reliable.

This car is fun to drive and rides very well for a car of it's size and weight.

The paint is the original, as is the clear-coat, and still shines like it's brand new.

The 2.3L HSC 4 cyl engine is a bullet-proof little engine and responds well to tune-up's and other modifications.

Interior appointments are fairly solid and well made for it's year, and all controls are within an arms length for the driver.

The headlights were a little restricted at low and high beam, a set of driving lights corrected this.

The car doesn't exactly turn on a dime, and the brakes could feel a little more responsive with more feedback to the driver.

Adequate acceleration after being tuned up. Engine noise drones inside cabin at highway speeds because of lack of overdrive.

All in all, a good bang for your buck, but require regular mechanical and body maintenance.

Faults:

Muffler replaced, brakes fixed, radiator replaced and radiator hose fixed (all after 7 years) and now the transmission is being fixed. I like this car very much, it hasn't given me too many problems. I'm going to keep it until the day comes that it can't be fixed.

General Comments:

Very reliable car. Haven't had too many problems with this car. I just need to get the transmission fixed now. I'm keeping it forever!!!

Faults:

Replaced engine, computer, head gasket, fan and small tune-up items wires, plugs.etc.

CONSTANT overheating problem. Antifreeze was boiling withing 10-15 minutes of me driving less than 30mph. Fan was engaging than disengaging (was engaging at the dealership twice)

General Comments:

Bottom line: engine cracked and antifreeze started pouring in the combustion chamber. I had to add a gallon of antifreeze every 5-7 days. Spark plugs were getting wet, engine didn't start. After waiting for 10-15 minutes it would start and no problem. Had to buy a used engine for $1500, mass air flow sensor and computer to make a new engine work right with the transmission.

Don't other people have overheating in this car?The radiator is kind of hidden behind the "grill" and there is not much air circulation there as I thought.

I totaled that peace of crap and was even happy. People around me could not get what I was so excited about. A week later got Chevy Lumina and so far no problems worth mentioning.
