I replaced the front transaxle because my CV joints went out at 105,000 miles ($400).
Replaced clutch assembly and release and throw-out bearings ($500) at 108,000 miles.
Replaced the water pump, and in process the mechanic broke the radiator, so I got one of those for free.
Replaced the alternator at 100,000 miles.
Driver's seat has started to wear really bad.
Most of the repairs that have been made were because of rough driving and someone (me) learning how to drive with it... I pretty much destroyed the clutch.
It has a lot of get up and go power, but when climbing hills the power isn't always there.
The whole interior is BROWN. Not a very customizable color. Would have been better to make dash and door panels black... and it would have generally looked better.
Overall, it's a great car. I bought it fairly cheap ($2000) and haven't had too many problems with it. It will run until 350,000 miles and is definitely a lot of fun to drive.
It's sporty, yet can haul stuff when you need it to.
Great gas mileage!!! 45 mpg on freeway/highway... 35 in town. Takes under $20 to fill the tank, and it runs for a long time.
I hear ya bro, 189,000 miles baby and still kicks ars! Only body damage is front right from friend backing up into it in her jeep! : (recently replaced timing belt and usual stuff, but everyhtng is still tight. LOVE IT!
