General comments?
This has been an excelent car that I bought from the original owner. It has been driven a lot to several western states and it has performed very well with very few repairs. It is very quiet and comfortable and performs very nicely on the roads. I really enjoy driving this car. Compared to my choices at the time for 94s, this was the best decision I have made because it gave me an great comfort, reliability, performance and luxury for the price. I also own a 2002 now.
