An exhaust bracket came loose in the engine compartment and rattled in a specific RPM range at 50000 miles and had to be tightened back down.
The windshield wipers drive belt rotted away around 70000 miles and had to be replaced.
The air compressor clutch seized up, and eventually the compressor itself did too. At 90000 miles the belt that drives the compressor and power steering gave out. I chose not to replace it as highway mileage increased; the car now gets an incredible 44 miles per gallon at 75 MPH.
The 1.5L engine doesn't produce a whole lot of power, but coupled with a manual transmission and decent tires, respectable acceleration can be had if desired.
Unless, that is, your 6'4" 320# brother-in-law is riding shotgun.
I'm 6'2" myself, and any air fresheners had to be hung in the back seat because they were just too close and overpowering off the rear-view mirror.
"air fresheners had to be hung in the back"
You may avoid this problem entirely by using deodorants in both arm pits. Caution: internet humor!
