General comments?
Very good car, I love it. After 192,000 miles, it is still just as strong as ever. I have changed the exhaust, intake, boost level, and the chip, and the motor is still in one piece. When you can punish a car as much as I have with this one, and still not replace the motor, it is a very good car.
