"The best car I have ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator was replaced at 180,000 miles.
I had the timing belt replaced every 70,000 miles (as preventative maintenance)
Needed to have the clutch pedal assembly spot welded at 160,000.
It needed the clutch and cable replaced at 160,000 miles.
Replaced CV axle (both sides) at 200,000 miles.
Have replaced the alternator twice.
Rear hatch back lift shocks failed at 70,000 miles.

General comments?
This car handles great.
This is the most reliable car I have ever owned.
I have never broke down on the road in 21 years of ownership.
The car is fun to drive.
It's a little rough on long trips.
Keep it garaged if you can, people keep trying to steal it.
